Natatorium Technician III
An anonymous pool owner in College Station, Texas is seeking the services of a professional Natatorium Technician. College Station is hot most of the time. Couple that with the aforementioned owner’s professional, metaphorical "hot seat" and a pool provides some much needed coolness and respite. The owner is often away from the pool helicoptering around and accumulating notches in his belt on college campuses in the southeastern portion of the United States. Despite the owner’s absence, his family will often be present to enjoy the pool.
The owner is seeking a discreet and responsible Natatorium Technician to keep things tidy and ward off Gators and bayou riffraff.
