First day of work!

Tuesday, July 6th
4:35pm
Currently listening to: Four Floors by Sunday Girl

BTW, Bobby never texted me yesterday so no worries there. I
will just continue to ignore him, I don't care. Emily
basically told me to do the same, and that it was weird.

SO WHATEVER.

Today was the first day of work! I like all my girls, except
there are two who are constantly fighting and drama and
stuff. Already! On the first day! Jeez. There are also two
others who constantly whine, and one picks her nose and eats
it. Yuck. She does it openly too. Sara is the cutest, I like
her a lot even though she's really quiet. If she doesn't get
what she wants she starts to make a fuss about it though,
but from what I've been told that's how she is. Otherwise
she's really good.

It was a pretty hectic first day. As always everyone was
running around in the morning trying to get things
organized. I first walked in and had no choice but to talk
to my CIT Cathy. The other counselor, who I learned is named
Danielle, showed ZERO interest in talking to us. Danielle is
a college grad, and I'm a high school grad, and Cathy is a
junior, so maybe we're too "little" for her. Honestly, she
is almost like an EXACT replica of Emer, except Emer
actually talked. Danielle just sits there and does nothing.
I try to organize games and things but it's hard cause the
kids don't listen, and if she isn't there backing me up it's
harder. She also complains, a lot. Non stop complaining the
whole time, about how it's too hot, she can't get wet, she
needs a fan, why are they downsizing on workers from 3-6..
it goes ON and ON and ON. Okay, she's working from 3 to 6
five days a week, she was claiming how PISSED she was
because they changed it to four. OKAY. FOUR. LIKE, IS THAT A
BIG DEAL I REALLY DON'T THINK SO. Then again I don't know
her situation, but she was yapping about her working those
times four days a week the whole day. Not to me, to the
older counselors who are there. I noticed she doesn't talk
to anyone else either, so it's not just me.

I'm happy to be back though. I've befriended most of the
counselors and the ones who are left all still remember me.

Then there's Cathy.

Oh god.

I don't know how I'm going to LIVE another day working with
that girl. She's a CIT (counselor in training) so it's
different, but basically she's a counselor, just not as in
charge. She's nice and she can be funny, but she gets so
hyper, like ridiculously hyper. If she has to leave the room
to do something she always makes me come with her. She's
always talking, or dancing, or saying these ridiculous
stories. She curses around the kids and honestly I'm tired
of other people fucking up my reputation at this job, her
doing that makes us look REALLY bad, especially if the kids
tell their parents. She's just annoying, she got me soaking
wet and pulled me in the sprinklers. We had to get buckets
of water for dry dry wet, so we went up to our room to get
them and back down again to outside. She saw the new cute
guy working there, FLIPPED, and immediately gave Doug her
bucket so she could catch up and walk by him. I didn't
witness what happened, the next thing I know I hear a crash
and her bucket, which was filled to the top, spilled all
over the floor. Let me tell you, it was A LOT of water, and
it was flooding the whole floor. I was ready to kill
someone, and I looked back and all she said was Doug dropped
it, it's not my fault. I guess so, but maybe if she wasn't
so busy concentrating on the new guy, Dillon, she wouldn't
have given Doug the bucket. Why should he have to carry it
anyway? I was really embarrassed, I tried walking away but
that would also be bad, so we had to stay there for ten
minutes and tell people to avoid the spill while Chris
fetched a custodian.

After that I just about had it. She's getting weirdly
attached. And now I'm stuck with her for the next six weeks.
We're supposed to be getting another counselor tomorrow,
hopefully a NORMAL NICE GIRL who I can talk to. I miss
Megan! She's my old coworker from two years ago. It turns
out the new counselors name is Megan, but Jess said it
probably wasn't the one I was thinking of. We'll see!

As for Danielle and Cathy, I'll just have to deal with them.
Danielle is an exact replica of Emer, so my tolerance is
already extremely low. I also had to work with Cathy two
years ago and she was annoying then too, it's just more of
then same!

I'm now listening to the remix of the song Four Floors by a
group called Diplo. Both versions are very good. I need new
music stat!

My road test is tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!

TTFN.
