Wow. Interesting week.

Tuesday: Jury Duty. I am dismissed, get home, get to work at 7:30 in the evening, so instead of getting a cabin of kids to be responsible for, they alter my job description for the week to "Floater", meaning I do all the small jobs around campus that no one else has time for, and also make sure all the cabin people have all their equiment needs fulfilled. I do that job for the 2 remaining hours of the day.

Wednesday: I start my "Floater" job full-on today, even though this is only my 8th week. 2 hours into this job though, one of the Program Assistants comes up to me and says "Sorry, you aren't going to be a floater anymore. We just got a call from Arbolado (20 miles up the mountain) that they had one of their cabin instructors break their foot. You are going to go fill in for him, so back up, and get going." This was interesting to me, because I just unpacked the night before, and so I had to repack, and within a half hour, I was driving up the mountain to Camp Arbolado. After I was there, I RE-Unpacked, and the entire day, I was trying to get used to a new schedule, where things are 5 to 10 minutes different in every single place.

Thursday: I got up at 3 AM, with a kid who was throwing up, who would throw up a few times during the day and finally get sent home. Other than that, it was the same as the Arbolado time Wednesday. More getting used to a new schedule, slightly different procedures, different people, and different facility.

Friday: Finish things up, help the kids pack, and also pack myself. I was out of there by 11:30, home at 12:30, where I remember that my dad is on a hunting trip for the weekend, and my mom and sisters are in Arizona visiting family.


So my week has been hecktic AND boring. You heard about the hecktic part, and the boring part about this weekend, having to be all alone at home. (I am running out of things to do, so I am hopefully going to meet up with some friends tomorrow.) But the other boring thing, was that unlike Creekside, Arbolado has no computer or TV. At Creekside you could pass time by hooking up an N64, or having a little net time. There was none of that at Arbolado. We had fun on Thursday night, by tossing around the staff room a tightly wound ball of yarn. This was actually interesting enough to go on for 45 minutes. THAT is how boring that site was.

I can't wait to get back to work on Monday. I wont have to be bored, here at home, or at work. Instead I will at least have something to do, even if it is work.
