Day 5 & Adaption

What stuck out to me the most from Overflow last night was the quick wit of this week's speaker. In the course of the message he made a comment about how we all need to take a break from working to refuel, or else we must be robots. We all just smiled.

After Overflow, myself and a couple other people started to walk around the lake, but stopped at the dock by the cove and laid down and stargazed for the rest of the evening until the summer staff curfew. There were no animal encounters, though one of the members of the group convinced us a (mountain) lion was following us. We all returned to camp alive and in one piece along the double yellow line on the road.

Although my "usual" schedule says I'm off today, I had to work because our summer staffers weren't supposed to get used to their work so soon. Needless to say, the day was quite laid back for summer. We instituted "Funday Thursdays", where at 2pm everyone takes a break (or gets off) and plays a game for a little bit, today's choice being catchphrase. Whisperings of sardines were heard for next week, though we shall see what's reeled in when that day comes. Also, our summer staffers seem to be getting used to the alternate definition of 'normal' known only to food service. They don't seem as startled by the pointless yelling across the kitchen (frequently with their ear being between the set of lungs and the receiving party), nor by the lights being turned off randomly whenever Someone walks past the switch, nor by the !

Now I am off to shower and then the RD BBQ which always has great food* (*food I didn't make), and then to pretend I'm assembling multiple hundred ungrilled cheese sandwiches to put me to sleep. I'm sure pretending I'm assembling them will put me to sleep just as quickly as actually doing them.
