Well, I work at this camp, it is open all year, but in the winter it is only open on weekends, and during the summer, we have people there all the time. I work in the kitchen preparing food for the people. This is a Jewish camp, where jewish people come to have their retreats. It is cool to learn about Jewish things, cuz I am not Jewish, actually none of the kitchen staff are Jewish. We all watch them do their singing and dancing and stuff like that. The good parts of my job are we get to eat any food we like, and there are sometimes when we can just chill out cuz there is nothing to do. The bad parts of my job are we have to clean all the rooms, sweep and everything. We have to do dishes. Also we have to put up with crabby people. They come up to the kitchen and ask us for stuff they are not supposed to have. And then when you tell them that they can't have it, they get all crabby on you. Another bad part is that you get hit on a lot by these people. It wouldn't be so bad, but they come up to you and say the gayest things, and it gets really annoying. Oh, another thing is that, some of these people speak Hebrew, and they speak it in front of you and you constantly feel like they are talking about you. Not only that, but some people don't know english very well, and sometimes you can't understand them. Oh well, it is ok. Oh another bad thing is that during the summer, the floor gets so slippery. Especially in the dish room. Ugh, I was in the dish room last night, and I was trying to be careful not to fall, well I guess i was not careful enough, and I slipped and fell right on my butt, and it hurt, and on the way down I smashed my hand on this spikey thing that was on the floor. So...this girl that was in the dish room with me told me to go sit down. So i was a little embarrassed. Not fun. Well my hand did end up swelling up a little bit, but it is ok now, just a little bruised. But other than that, it is a good job. Well there is another thing, but I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. My boss knows my whole family, on my dads side, because my grandma used to work for him. So...that is really interesting. Oh well, it sucks but it is money, which is something we all need...so I will stick with it.
