so, we've cancelled all events at the camp until further notice. and i cannot tell you how many angry emails and calls we've received from parents. how DARE we, you know, do what the WHO and the CDC have recommended us do. i am so so sorry that i don't want to possibly infect you and your children with this virus.

rich people piss me off.

i would like to speak with you, if you are free to do so.

When you lay outside at night and you stare up at the sky, do you read the stars or do the stars read you?

I've written about this before, but parents never cease to amaze me. I'm already getting special requests for our summer campers. It's amazing how soon people start to plan their summers. It is currently January 3rd. It is a Friday. Can't some of this wait? (Though, most of the emails I get this early come from personal assistants.) I know that this is complaining about the glory of riches, to a degree, but still. It's one thing to try and be conscientious and remind us of allergies because we do start planning food and things. It's another thing to let us know that if we're making camp t-shirts to make sure they aren't blue because Princess doesn't wear blue. (Yes. This is a real request.)

How are you feeling? I've been thinking about you since you collapsed. Has it happened again? Do you need a doctor?

With all that's happened in the past year, I'm considering actually closing the shop for a few days and taking a vacation. However, I have no idea where to go. Any thoughts? Any pictures to back your thoughts up? I should hire help so I don't have to close to leave. If you're looking for a job, I'd love to talk to you about that, too.

There's something awful about having to cancel a winter camp session because you no longer have enough students for it. And having to explain to rich parents that you need to have a certain number of students and you no longer do because a city disappeared. And having those parents mad because they'll have to have their child with them for their typical ski trip to Switzerland instead of ditching them with us. I hate people sometimes.
