Another day, another (damp) dollar...

So camp today was certainly interesting! One of my campers brought a Japanese graphic novel to camp (one with some very...creatively drawn scenes, shall we say), and was trying to show it to all of the other campers! After telling him 3 times to put it away, I went to take it away and he burst into tears and practically punched me in the face with his elbow! Good Lord, I don't get paid enough to deal with this. End result: I put it in the bottom of his backpack and told his mother not to let him bring it to camp again. *phew*
Then we go to the pool (thank goodness), and it's doing this rain/mist/yuck thing. Not enough so I get soaked immediately, but after 45 minutes of sitting by the diving board I'm thinking "hmm, I'm slightly cold and very damp right now." Yuck. Then we go back to camp, and just before pick-up starts, it starts to pour. Figures. And when I say pour, I don't just mean rain hard. I mean sideways slanty rain that soaks you no matter how you hold you umbrella. ARRGH! So I shuttle campers back and forth between the building and their car, and so that their precious art projects stay dry, my whole back is wringing wet, and my socks are stuck to my feet inside of my soaking wet gymshoes. Gross!
I do NOT get paid enough to do this... alright, well maybe I do :-P
Oh, I got my evaluation today too- it's got like 25-30 different statements on it like "Proper use of language with campers" and a line for a number (1-5) on it. (5 is the best). Well, I got all 5's and just two 4's. Go me. *happy dance*
That's all for now kiddies! The job search is still hopeless...but steak is for dinner :)

Grr, don't you just hate the job hunt? I know I certainly do. I've resorted to looking for temporary receptionist jobs...seriously. That is how desperate I am to find some way of earning money right now. Anyway, I hope you're all toasty warm and dry now after a rough day. Hope to talk to and see you soon!
