In trouble with an old lady counselor which okay yes it was a rule to not run on the porch but it was raining and there were these fountains and trees and smell of petrichor and I was overcome okay so I did a springy gentle jump and then got ordered to walk back to the beginning of the porch then rewalk it as a calm normal person but as a gremlin I chose to do the second walk using the the inside of the camp building to entirely avoid her

    Another time at college I got way way too drunk at a party then arrested for getting drunk as an 18 year old so my license got taken so I spent that summer doing dishes at the camp and ignoring my at the time girlfriend's texts because my brain doesn't work right in ways I haven't figured out yet regardless the camp was so fucking religious they made me lead pre staff breakfast devotions when it was my turn to do so which while fair and expected was also fucking awful but the crazy thing is most of the staff worked as counselors before becoming summerstaff so that means like actively discipling 14 year olds then counseling their inevitable religion induced mental breakdowns as some random 19 year old? Crazy if you ask me but most of my coworkers did that before they became staff but like I said I just got my license taken anyway and would rather be trapped in mountains than suburbs so I agreed to do the dishes for twelve hours a day for four dollars and hour plus room and board

      It sounds like I'm complaining but actually I loved it and now I'm looking at quitting my cushy remote software dev job to become a WWOOF dude because holy fuck this career shit is an embarrassing waste of life
