Summer Camp Day 2 & Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Well, technically summer at Hume Lake began yesterday evening with the coming of 1300-ish campers in addition to the 330 summer staff, but I worked the breakfast shift so I didn't work the first "day" of summer camp. And that's why I don't have a post for Day 1.

Today was Day 2 of summer camp, but my first day as a lead cook. Memory of that first week of last summer, when I was just figuring out my job as summer staffer, hangs faintly in my mind like the mist over the lake before dawn. This year is different. This year I'm a lead - one of the full-time cooks in the black chef coat. Now my job isn't just to make the Alfredo sauce for dinner. Now it's to make sure both types of noodles, both sauces, and the veggies are all cooked on time, served to everyone, and cleaned up on time.

This was my first "real" time leading dinner. Toward the end of last summer I somewhat took a leading role in getting prep and meals done, but wasn't responsible for seeing everything done. Today as first day leading officially, everything went well. Dinner was made on time, we didn't run out of food (though it got extremely close), and we were able to clean up and be out a half hour early.

And to top it all off, when I got home from work my Apple.com RSS feed had the story I've been waiting for: OS X Snow Leopard has been revealed and ships this September! This fall is going to be a good few months.
