A Day at the Pool

The other day Ashley and I went down to the pool they have here at our complex. It was the first time we have seen it. It’s not super big or anything like that, but hey it’s a pool none the less! Around the pool they have the typical chairs and tables, but they do also have 2 grill’s that you can use to cook on. Ashley and I did that last year at the pool at our old complex. It’s nice being able to bring down food so you can stay at the pool all day. The pool only goes up to 5 feet but it is still nice to swim in and cool off.

Spending some time at the pool is nice because it keeps your mind off work. As I said in an earlier post if you are always thinking about work and don’t take time to relax you will burn out. The pool is perfect because I can walk down there for a few hours and come back up to do work later in the day. My summer is going well, I have been managing my time well and getting a lot of work done. I hope everyone is having a good summer!

    I agree, nothing like getting cooled off. Plus its good to get away from the bright LCD screens for a while and get some sun rays. Heck man that reminds me I need to get out and get some sun, to much work! Ha, enjoy the pool!

    I do the same thing. I usually take a dip mid-day, and it helps me work through some ideas. Afterwards, I’m ready to dig into what I came up with. Working straight through the day makes for bad writing, development, design, etc.

    I spend a lot of time at my aunt’s pool over the summer. It’s a great workout when you spend the whole day there.

    yeah it’s always good to separate you tasks throughout the day, not try to tackle them all at once
