dont worry fish, i also had a job like that. working 22 out of 24 hours in a day, getting paid the average minimum wage from the 1980's, and being responsible for up to 20 children, while also being outside for a majority of that time, it really does take a lot out of you. it was a fun job tho.

but i also quit because of my mental health deteriorating due to lack of medication my insurance refused to cover since it costs more than 2 pennies a pill and they hate giving out medication that helps improve your livelihood and mental wellbeing. did i mention it was meth? methylphenidate, but still meth. i'm kind of addicted to meth now. huh. never really thought of it that way. kinda wack when you think about it.

its also kinda wack that they still prescribe opioids. those things can get you hella addicted to dreugs, man, i've only ever taken things i've been prescribed, and i;'ve never been porescibed opioids, so cant say i've tried them. but boy oh boy am i high off of life right now, fish!

lemme tell ya sir fish madam, i havent been to sleep yet. ain't that wack? it's almost 6am and i havent been to sleep yet! aint this fun? just me n you, chatting in this repost i made, talking about the fun things in life. like mental health, meth, addiction, we just straight chillin at this point!

well, i gotta tell ya fish, i've been kinda rtambling because i just really wanted to type. typing is fun. beep boop,. click clack, kwjrbgoewurbgiodrufbneworignvewio. having so much fuin when my meds are kicking in on an empty stomach! i'm also not goign to edit this post at all because i want this to be a raw and authentic conversation with you, fish.

and yes, fish. i have drank water today. lots of it! three full waterbottles! therefore i have another day until it comes! good morning, fish!

GUESS WHO DIDN'T GET THE JOB

ME

BECUASE THE JOB SUCKED BALLS AND THEY WANTED TO PAY ME LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE WORKING OUTSIDE SIX DAYS A WEEK!!!!!!

SO I GOT THE JOB AND SAID NO

I'm on that tgirl egirl grindset

Logically I shouldn't post this because it's incoherent and I'm hyped on caffeine but I have the ability to say words on the internet and I think it's funny to use this power to say that employers SUCK ASS

did you drink water today? If not it's coming

day 1 of being a camp counselor

i’ve been here for about 24 hours with campers. here are somethings i’ve learned about my kids aged 6-8:

- they hate listening to you when you’re telling them they can’t do something they find fun. these girls wanted to roll down a hill. in the middle of the woods. known for having ticks. they wanted to swing between their metal bunk beds. they were running at 10pm in the dark, not caring about falling and breaking something. and they won’t stop.

- they will believe anything you tell them. they think my name is toaster, that i’m 190 years old, and my parent’s names are tree and rock. 

- E N E R G Y . they didn’t want to go to bed until 11:30pm last night. i get staying up late, but we are staying up until at least 10:30 tonight and i reminded them that at least 5 times before going to bed, we still had to yell at them. 

- they love swimming. for our entire activity before pool, they would not shut up about going to the pool. every five minutes, it’d be like, “when can we go to the pool?” “are we going to the pool now?” “can we leave for the pool now?” mind you these are BABIES wanting to go swim in chlorinated water. why? i do not know. i also just hate pools. 

- sensitive. little. beings. one of my littles failed the swim test because they kept grabbing onto the wall while taking it (whats the point of the test if we know you can just hold onto the walls?), and they would not. stop. crying. for what was probably only 5 minutes but it felt like forever. they kept saying “i hate shallow!” or “i like swimming!” even after telling them many times that i have never swam in that side of the pool (true, i’ve been going here since i was her age and still have never gone on the deep end). they eventually gave up and got their wristband because their friends got out of the water. i am so happy i will not be with them the next time they go to the pool. my break is scheduled then!

- super touchy. completely unaware of personal space. while i was working with a HOT GLUE GUN, these kids were literally, like legit, breathing down my neck. i could feel their sticky little warm bodies next to me while i was glueing these ribbons onto their little popsicle stick stars. i had to say multiple times to get into a line. they keep coming up behind me and hugging me while i’m sitting. if it happens again, i am 100% going to tell them about boundaries. 

- they forget. EVERYTHING. before leaving this morning, i reminded them we were going to the pool. at least 10 times. mentioning that you need a change of clothes. guess how many kids forgot something? only two, but one kid forgot their towel, one forgot their underwear, another forgot their hair stuff, another forgot their hairbrush, etc. and none of them brought dry clothes to change into. none. we remind them to grab their water bottles every time we leave our quarters, since it’s summer in the midwest and it’s easy to get dehydrated. theres always at least two that leave them on their beds. some didn’t even bring a water bottle to camp. we have to give them leftover stock from last year. and those kids that get new water bottles? still forget them wherever they go. its wild to me how they can be thirsty, complain about being thirsty, and yet still forget to grab them.

- they don’t understand wastefulness yet. at opening fire last night, they all reapplied bug spray at least 5 times each. after being reminded that once or twice was enough. they spray it for fun sometimes. they spray it on their friends. they’re gonna run out of bug spray halfway through the week and we won’t be able to help them. they also waste food. at breakfast, only two of my campers finished their plates. there were half full or full bowls of cereal. a semi-touched bowl of oatmeal. an entire plate of just bacon. these kids want to eat it all, but they physically can’t. and they know it. but they still want to grab all of the bacon they can just because they wanna. 

i will add more onto this post tomorrow on my break, because why not. i love typing out my days instead of writing them, so i might just turn this into a camp counselor blog. if, y’know, tumblr still is active lmao

pro tip!!

if you want to pack earrings next time you travel, just put them in one of the hundreds of empty pill bottles you have! because why would anyone want to steal your antidepressants! 

hope this helps <3
