This one time at band camp......
So get this!! I'm actually updating.....I bet you thought that this day would never come. And you were probably close to right, however I thought it would be nice to fill you in on my most recent escapades. The last three and a half weeks have been spent in the hopping hub of wonderful Red Deer, Alberta, where I was one of thirteen wonderful supervisors at MusiCamp Alberta (Well, actually 12 wonderful ones, and one fairly incompetant one, but that's another story!). That's right.....band camp!! I've never had a job that I've loved as much as this one. Most of the kids were great. Throughout the 3 weeks of camp, we looked after kids ranging in ages from 9 to 18 years old. Other than temporarily losing 2 girls, a diabetic guy who had problems with his diabetes earlier in the day, and a little girl's prized Tamagotchi, we really had no huge problems. All of the campers were really fun to be around and they spoiled us with candy, flowers, lattes, and hugs (though I would have appreciated it if they bathed more frequently). Everything from skit night, movie night, and supe recitals, to name that tune, afternoon rec, and the dances was a total success, and Bronco, I am so sorry that you ever had to drink that line of horror concoction!!
I've only been home for a mere 4 hours, and I already miss my fellow supe commrades. So, in tribute to you guys (Chewy, Dukes, Trump, Hush, Belly, Colgate, Swiffer, Bronco, Ringer, Rev, and Strike), here is a little bit of humour:
How to annoy your fellow supes without even realizing it: (a little sarcasm to brighten your day :D)
1) When you FINALLY decide to close a door, proceed to slam it, so that everyone in your house can here you enter or exit. Whether or not your presence is desired, you should make it known!
2) Be sure to eat other peoples' food without asking, and if someone mentions for you not to, stop eating it momentarily, but start again a few minutes later.
3) Always ask yourself questions and answer them as well. This especially comes in handy when trying to decide what to eat first at meals or when trying to figure out what you should be doing.
4) Be sure to follow other supes around like a lost puppy. Make sure you stay as close as possible.
5) Make sure to disappear right before certain tasks, such as cleaning, wake up calls, or helping faculty members are bound to occur. This will save you from having to do actually work hard for the money you are being paid.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!
6) Be sure to use proper manners at the dinner table. By this, I mean, fill your entire tray with as much food as possible, decide what to eat first, stare at your food, eat some butter out of the little butter packet, eat huge bites without chewing, and stare at other peoples' food once you are finished your meal!
If you follow these simple rules, you will surely be bombarded by frustration from your fellow supes! If any of the other supes have any other words of wisdom, feel free to leave me a message with some suggestions!!
