New Job

Hey everyone!
It's strange not to be reading your blogs/seeing you/hearing from you on Facebook every day. Camp will do that. The technology break is nice, but not whole. I work on a computer all the time in the office but I'm trying to do the bare minimum on Facebook and email.


The job is going well so far. The previous secretary, Angela, came to camp last Sunday and Monday to help me learn the ropes. I was overwhelmed by all the information but incredibly grateful she was there. The camp director kept saying "Angela will show you how this works" and she did! Yay! Now I mostly know how to do things I need to do for registration, but it's all the special cases that I don't know what to do with.


Summer camp is definitely its own beast. Things like rendering and burning DVDs, which I have never done before, can't really be practiced because it's pricey. I have to do it for the first time at the end of next week when campers want to go home with their slideshow and video of the week. I'm nervous about the timing on that. But what am I saying? That's more than a week away! There's a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3!)


Sometimes it feels like there's way too much to do and sometimes I feel like I should be doing something but I don't know what yet. I guess that's how it is with any new job, right? Thanks for all your prayers and checking in on me.


Today was the first day of registration, where moms and dads come into the dining hall with their camper and say "Hey, Billy is here!" and then I tell them who their counselor is, where their cabin is, and other stuff like that. 
It was less scary than I thought and I'm glad that part of today is over. 


I went to a wedding with my parents this weekend (perhaps when I have laptop access I can upload photos to something?) and when I expressed my nervousness about today, my mom reminded me that "when you lay your head on the pillow tonight, you will have done registration for the first time." And she's right! I feel more confident in myself now but definitely tired. Being peppy in the heat is hard work, but I liked seeing everyone come in, excited for the week ahead. 


That's all to report for now. I'm missing you all!
