Rachel Wayne, if you're reading this, I'm having a personal crisis of sorts and I need the moral and ethical leader of VFC to help me solve it :P
I recently received my camp contract and renewal letters from the City of Vaughan in the mail. They raised my pay rate and even though I'm dead set against going back to camp this summer, the money is very alluring. So I was chilling on facebook, culling out my groups because of something Emery Finkelstein said, and I decided to visit the Vlad Fantasy Camp group, for old time's sake.
It made me laugh so hard I thought I would puke.
There were good times during the summer, really, there were, but there were also times that I'm still having trouble getting past. Like the duplicitous head administration, skulking upstairs in their smelly offices, and the hell they put us lowly specialists, counsellors and directors through. I loved the people, the methalyne blue, the dunk tank and the krazy karaoke, but can I face going back to a workplace that tried to kill my soul?
CONUNDRUM!!!!!!

LAURA ROSE.... LOL. although I'm not in Canada, I too, seem to have been put in a similar dilemma via my parents. They too, have offered me more, tempting money. However, I don't know when I'm coming back to Canada, plus I'm on some complex government scheme (sometimes I call it a scam) in which it is not worth my while to work. So it seems highly unlikely I will go back although I might have otherwise. As for you, well, you were absolutely correct in that Vaughan stifles the soul... it hurts just to think about it- explore alternatives, consider your options, and hey, if the price is right, I might even sell my soul...jk
luv,

Hi Laura! As you know I have been in the wrokforce for 30 years and am still not a millionaire but you also know I have never taken a job for the money, always for the experience and the projected fun quotient. You know what they say....do what you LOVE! From your not-always-wise, A Bren
The accountant is telling you that the money is not worth it. That says it all.
