Absotutely. My other offer requires work, and is 1/2 an hour off, anyway.

I don't mind helping with work. I can check translations, teach English and Japanese (I don't have a book for Dutch, otherwise I could do that too) I can clean, I can take a phonecall and I know how to work a register. I can also do some waitressing and I have leader qualities.
*is still looking for a summer job*

Thanks Sis! I said it before, but you are the bestest ^_^

Not that kind of work. We're installing a summer camp in its temporary digs this weekend. Have to get the foosball table, etc, out of storage and set up.

But first, since the nimrods in charge of the facility installed hardwood flooring (@@) we have to drag out a million pounds of musty old rug to cover them before they are subject to child-friendly use.

Supposed to start at 7...if my ethics stay on-line I'll go.

**Mari** · 06-20-2008, 06:54 PM

Haha, I see. I wish I could see one of those summer camps. The Hollywood image is probably wrong

Rinkë showed me some pictures of a camp where she used to work, but it's not the same as really seeing one.

*sigh* I need a job. Today I was told that it was because of my three-day vacation that they didn't have work for me. All the employers say that those are the most important days for them... according to the agency. From 7 to 11 of August... how swamped can a cleaning job or administrative job be?

*is so not believing what the lady from the job agency told her*

This isn't a hollywood summer camp, although I've seen a few of those. Nice tradition.

This is a little community day-camp, held in a former school. We pitch in to make it happen, and I think it's an important part of what makes our village special, and teaches the next generation. It's pretty low-key, but it's free to residents.

I went when I was little, so now I give back.

*glomps Sis and Mari*

hey all. I think the padding thing may work for the braces... Doesn't change the fact taht they limit my mobility. I'll just stick to rear sniper positions I guess. But god I love melee.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 06-20-2008, 07:08 PM

a nice camp I know...

Gotta go lay rugs, Later, taters!

**Mari** · 06-20-2008, 07:13 PM

Bye bye! Good luck with the lugging and watch your back.

That looks nice by the way. Any canoing going on there?

My download has finished! Woohoo! I think I'll safe the installing part for tomorrow >_<

Sane, have fun with the killing. Don't get killed yourself now because then you might be the one to get looted.

Lief Erikson · 06-20-2008, 07:25 PM

Have a beautiful night's rest

sisterandcousinandaunt · 06-20-2008, 08:26 PM

rugs laid, more or less.

maybe it's my turn, next.

***Tessar*** · 06-20-2008, 08:34 PM

I'm SURE I don't know what you're talking about.

<.<

e-heh.

So you went to help with the rugs after all?

That's good.

I've always wanted to do that too! So I can shoot Pip... I mean... *angelic face*

I'm going to camp as staff next week. Apparently there's lots of poison oak. Joy.

It'll be roped off, but that doesn't mean no one will touch it.

But at least I don't have babysitting next week!

She was actually running towards me. She normally looks like this:

Her ears are so long they get wet when she drinks water. She trips on them sometimes too!

***Varnafindë*** · 06-21-2008, 03:56 AM

She's lovely!

**Mari** · 06-21-2008, 05:55 AM

Mo~rning! And a lovely one it is too. Too bad we can't go to the beach volleyball thing, because my father was feeling sick again.

Oh well, my sis and I will go squashing instead. I've never done that before, so I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, and I installed the virus thing! Finally! *mutters something about virus thingies being evil*

sisterandcousinandaunt · 06-21-2008, 10:02 AM

Have fun, sweeties. I have to drive forever today, so I must needs get off my stool and get moving towards the car. *looks at empty teacup mournfully*

Morning does NOT last long enough, and I was shut out again, today.

Really, as staff? What kind of role are you going to have?

Are you going to be able to participate in any of the fun activities, or only supervise?
