Right now mine is this



When I do job interviews etc. and they ask what I enjoyed most about all my volunteer roles (because that's all that's on my fucking resume for a 17 year period), my answer is going back years later and seeing stuff I started still happening and still working.

Today/tonight the swim team at the summer pool are doing their 100-collective-mile swim-a-thon - a triple-purpose-event: fundraiser, fun practice for this week's "specialty event" (which is distance freestyle) and team bonding exercise. 

These fish show how many miles are done so far 9out of 100, so swimmers can easily see where they are up to and get excited ....and generally the littler swimmers who can't contribute so much are enlisted to stick them on the wall......  Swim families are sharing pics of these fish on social media.

My kids are long(ish) graduated from the swim team... but way back when.... (maybe 15 years)... this was my idea!   My thing!  Before that they periodically wrote the number of miles swum so far on a piece of paper and taped it to the office door.  I had a large piece of gray/silver foam sheet left over from a preschool project, so I cut out 100 fish(ish) shapes, numbered them with Sharpie and had the flagging smaller swimmers stick them on the wall.

I'm pretty sure no-one on the current team has any idea who started it, and why should they? ...... but IT WAS ME! :
