OK it's raining and I have nothing to do since I don't have a job so I'll elaborate if anyone cares.
So I was a camp counselor, but they didn't have enough campers register so they were out of budget. My old lacrosse coach is the assistant director so he gave me some insider information, that they were letting 6 people go and/or cutting hours until people quit on their own. Two people were let go, but I was never told for certain about any hours being cut (he was unsure at the time, but thought I'd have one week of only 15 hours...and he was pretty mad about that) So the actual lady in charge of that stuff told me on Friday she needed to talk to me after work, but then she was busy and said to just talk to her on Monday. So I get there and talk to her this morning (had to be there at 8:30...wish I had been able to sleep in since I was up until like 2:30, she could have laid me off over the phone or something).
Anyway she's just like we have too many counselors and don't really have a need for you, but if it picks back up we'll call you. She also said to consider them for employment next summer. Fuck that if she's working there again. She offered me a position working with the physically disabled people, but I'm separated from the rest of the counselors because I just have to help those kids learn to sit and stand up. I'm going to have to take that job because it's too late to get another one.
I'm pissed off about it though because, as of now 4 counselors have been let go. The other 3 I could understand, they didn't really do anything. I was one of the only ones that always went swimming with the kids and actually played with them. Multiple ones said I was their favorite counselor at the camp. It's ridiculous, and the other counselors agree that it doesn't make sense they're letting a good counselor go. One of the other guys wants to quit now.
On the plus side I realized that I like the girl that I thought I was starting to like. When this happened, my first concern is that now I won't see her everyday...that's another big reason I might take that other job offer.
