Creative Hour

For the past five years, I've worked at OK Falls Parks & Rec as a camp counsellor for the day camp there, as well as an events coordinator. Over the past years, I've had to experience some crying kids, and some very messy days, but some weird things seem to stand out in my mind. One of those weeks was when we had forty-five kids all at once come in, and only four counsellors. We were all running around trying to figure out what we would do with all them. Someone had to be with the older kids and two more had to be with the younger ones, but someone also had to be taking the attendance, and someone in the office. All I remember was running around constantly counting how many kids we had while answering the phone. Thankfully, our volunteers showed up thirty minutes later and we were saved. All the staff was beat, but we still had six more hours to go.
Another weird and funny day at work was the last day of our camp when one of the other counselors got a little taste of what karma was like. All week he had been teasing the laughing at the other workers and on the last day it came back at him. Ryan had just mopped the floor and put up a warning sign about the floor being slippery. Not a minute later, he came running in to jump at his sister, when he slipped and slid across the floor into the cupboards. Everyone could not stop laughing at him. Our boss ran in and had heard what happened and she as well started to laugh. Later that day, we went out for our annual staff pizza party and karma struck him again. Ryan being the obvious clumsy one, spilled a pitcher of ice tea all over himself. We could not stop laughing at him. Later when we handed out our funny awards for everyone, I gave him the Ozzy Osbourne impersonation award, but really he should have gotten the biggest cluts award.
