Now, whenever I have HAD a presentation, its gone astoundingly well and a majority of those present decide to sign up at the end. BUT, the hardest part of the whole process is just getting the chance in the first place.
School Principals are non-compliant douchebags, directors of Boys and Girls Clubs are self-centered and unmotivated twats, and city council members are bureaucratic sloths.
It's no wonder so many kids never get to experience camp, or get a chance to leave the slums for a while, or receive the attention and care that they all crave for and need to develop into a self-confidant individual.
Administrators are jacked.

Welcome back "Jumper"

Anyhow, that actually sounds like an interesting job aside from dealing with douchery but most jobs you do.
Know if they have any openings?

Well the camp is specific to UCLA, so I'm guessing it be easier if you lived around here haha. I actually will have to stop working for them in a few weeks as I'll be going 9-5 for Disney's Law Offices over the summer, so you've got time to make a move to sunny smoggy los angeles and take over my job.

The waking up, 3am shouldnt even be classified as morning. The actual work is so damn easy.

I actually like my new job.
I don't like the waking up, though.

I'm fine with the waking up, but I hate getting there on time for some reason.

Customers. I fucking hate customers so much.

Well people in general, but I will just say customers for now

I work the register during the lunch rush of a local sandwich shop in a part of town dominated by yuppies. The actual work is usually not hard.
But I'm not a social boy...

Every day I deal with a line to the door made up of people who have 15 minutes to order food, get their food, and get back to their important jobs.

Every single day after my super-long 4 to 6-hour shift, I leave work with my mind clouded over, my stomach achey and churney, my heart racing, and my legs feeling as though they are about to collapse.

But aside from my own personal mental shortcomings, I'd say when my boss tries to make me play the role of cook and cook up a batch of roux...

Nothing like standing over a hot pot of boiling flour and oil... It smells terrible... It's hot... It's very easy to ruin... And I didn't sign on to be a cook.

Seems like people and waking up are GT's main issues.

That actually sounds tempting.
But it is only for the summer I take it?
