Epic rant of a "Wait, what?" situation...
Background: So I am a camp counselor/substitute in the mornings, and in the afternoon Molly and I teach "drama" (aka let's play games that have nothing to do with drama). Most counselors/herders bring in the kids and either a.) Sit out and keep an eye on the kids, and step in when needed, or b.) join in the games, which is SO helpful, but since we're all tired, we don't mind "a" so much either. Hell, we played nothing but Sleeping Lions today, because it meant we got to lie down. xD
However, there is one lovely young woman named Natalie, who does not do a or b, but c.) sit around, ignore kids, play music on headphones loud so the kids are distracted, and take photos of self with cell phone.
Can you say, uh, NO? Molly and I told Ginny the Camp Director about it, and though she mentioned that Natalie has trouble with her diabetes (er, who cares? that doesn't mean you don't have to do your job) she said she'd do something.
We thought that meant "I will talk to Natalie and keep an eye on her, maybe call her mom like I said I might, and if it keeps up I will consider more."
No, it meant: "I will remove her from her morning class where she is one of three helpers to the older counselor, remove her from extended day / afternoon classes altogether, and talk to her mom.
Now normally I'd be all LOLOL that's what you get, except that Molly replaced her unknowingly, and she blames Molly apparently (though it was my idea...)
The weird part is that suddenly she friends me on facebook, and with it sends me a message saying:
"Sonia.. i didn't mean what i said to you.. seriously it's just.. i know someone had to but the fact that Molly "took" my "babies".. like tht just hurt.. you know? i like u sonia, i do. i just.. got hurt. nd it's not ur fault. "seriously." haha."
Am I the only one that thinks that she calls the kids her Babies a little creepy, especially since she isn't really good at you know, taking care of them? I'm not sure whether to respond nicely or if I should just tell her off. Especially since she seems to be telling Molly off, while being nice to her at school, and almost threatening me in school and then being nice online... >.>;
