2 Weeks Left
It seems that this year has been the most difficult one in terms of staff. I sent one to jail, another flight sent one home for harrassment and then the rest of the staff is very inexperienced so it's like pulling teeth to get them to do anything on their own. It has improved slightly but most of them still require apron strings. It's sad.
The cadets for my first intake were difficult to handle. They were loud, but they were also fun. I enjoyed them and found their problems kept me busy... Second intake the kids are amazing. They do things on their own, take initiative, and require very little supervision (which is good because my staff don't supervise well). I'm enjoying these kids emmensly. There are a few that keep coming up to me and asking questions... good questions too... daddy would be proud. I keep telling them that everything I know I learned from "the book". Mostly drill stuff, but other things too. They are wonderful. They make me smile.
I want to have my contract extended... mostly for the money. I doubt that it will happen but I'm going to try.
Becky got another dog. While I don't think it is the greatest idea in terms of logistics I know that NYX will make her very happy and that makes me happy. She's a cute puppy :) and if she gets to come to Canada I will gush all over her :)
Jessika pregnant again? Only 9 months will tell, but I really hope, for their finincial wellbeing, that she isn't. I'd love another baby, but this is too much.
I realized that I don't have any pictures of Nana or Grama or Grandad on my iPod... shame.
I'm excited to go on leave again... this time I'm going to Trenton!!! I don't know why I torture myself with that place but I tend to go back every year. This time I'm only going because Evan and I are meeting half way. :) :) :) I can't wait to see him! 3 days in the Yukon hotel!!! I'm going to have a bath!
I haven't driven a vehicle since I've been here. I think it's a record. Evan makes fun of me because I'm a terrible passenger on the highway... I get really tense when I'm not in control. My new policy is to either sleep or just close my eyes... I can't take it!
I think I'm happy. No problems for me at camp this year, I get along with everyone, I'm enjoying my job... yah I'm happy... though I do miss everyone. It will be nice to go home. (I'm dying for a really good cup of tea)
**I just remembered that one year that I came home from camp (I think it was 2006) mum had made me oatmeal cookies and put them on my pillow... Marie helped her... it was wonderful**
