Lifeguards and Maintenance People

What's up with lifeguards and maintenance people? It seems that they always become fast friends. At least, that's how it's been in my experience... My first year as a lifeguard, Luke was the Maintenance Director, and we hung out often. In fact, we're still friends. Then the next year, there was Mr. Tim for the first month and a bit. We got along great. I miss Mr. Tim... He's married now. Somehow, we understood each other. Then Thomas came along to replace Mr. Tim and was there the next year as well. Another great friend who I spent much of my free time at camp with. Is this only a camp phenomenon? I don't think so... because the maintenance guys at Playland are also around the slides a lot, and we all get along really well too. They've even got nicknames for me. I'm Baywatch or Trouble or After Eight (yeah... I don't get that one either...). Lifeguards and maintenance people... Hmm.. don't know why but it works.
