not kidding.
I used to be a surflifesaver. I was out on Board Patrol (where you're out on a massive knee board about 10ft long) and I noticed a kid "climbing the ladder". I paddled over to him and nearly didn't make it in time. There are many details I'm not going into.
I quit being a lifesaver that afternoon. It was one of the most horrible things I've ever had to do - but at the same time - I'm really proud of it.
So yes. When I'm feeling shit - I think about that - and I get a little glow of pride.

and I'm not surprised you chose to drop the surfsaving piece afterwards. Kudos to the Vampyrecat!

My wife's an ex-Lifeguard, done something similar - she gets all smiley when I remind her that there's someone alive who wouldn't be if she hadn't intervened!
