I work in the therapy department of a Skilled Nursing Facility or Rehab hospital as a therapy tech. It’s pretty diverse work. On any given day I transform from glorified secretary to hero. It’s a decent gig as far as work goes. However, there is one major problem, other than some quarrels with management, my uniform. Day in, day out its the same. 40 hours a week spent in a black polo shirt and khaki pants. Who picked this dismal color combination? I have no idea, but for a girl in LOVE with color, more specifically neon, the person undoubtedly needs to be fired. And so, I have been forced to add shades of life to my drab working wolrd. Color therapy in a rehab setting. Neon green socks, bright pink layering tank tops and red nail polish are some of the ways I fight off boredom in my work uniform. Let’s just say wherever I can add colors that are not black and or a shade of beige…I do so. 

So, besides working as an RT I work 20 hours a week as a lifeguard a the local YMCA. 4:30 AM – 8:30 AM Monday through Friday. That means 5 romantic sunrises with speedo donning geriatrics. This aquatic world is also a mirage of dull hues. There is a wide array of black swim suits, dull blue swim caps, etc. 
An old black man, who could possibly be Cosby’s inspiration for Fat Albert, came into the pool this week. He went to get aqua weights and stood in front of the rack looking puzzled. Then, he walked over to the lifeguard stand to inquire about a special pair. 
“What makes them special?” I asked
“Well,” he replied, “they are blue, pink and yellow NEON zebra print.”
With a huge smile I inquired as to why that particular patter. 
“I guess I just feel this world needs more neon,” was all that he said. Then, he nodded in a satisfied way and jumped into the pool. Please meet Anton, my new best friend….. (hopefully a picture to follow soon)
