I'm finally done with another workday. This day-camp job is much harder than you'd expect. I have a list of campers (and their parents) to pay special attention to. One of them I've written about before in
but I've got a few more to keep an eye on.
One mom signed both her sons up for these day camps. They showed up at an earlier week and apparently the older one got bullied so hard he doesn't want to come back. The younger one is happy and bubbly, though a bit behind developmentally than his peers, while the older one seems timid as all get out. I feel for him, and hope he starts weightlifting some day.
This kid is one I'd (if I had the perfect authority) expel from the program. He refuses to follow along with what the group is doing and it makes me absolutely livid (🤬). Other campers who are disinterested in a particular activity are at least generally polite about it; this kid will scowl and slam shit together. I've written about him before, this is the same one who shouts
Shut up!
when he's mad or whatever. I like to think I have lots of patience when dealing with kids, but he has burned up all of my patience for his behavior. I am absolutely done with him, and want him gone as soon as possible.
Soon I'll be all done with this. My super's coming back tomorrow, and she assured me that she'll take over more of the on-the-ground counselor work and leave me with the planning. I'm looking forward to it, weirdly. There are a lot of arbitrary restrictions at my workplace, which is frustrating, but she knows more about what we can and can't do.

Thanks for reading (even that last bit lol)!
