From now on

After being busy like bees all summer long, it was time, last Saturday, for all the camp's employees to take a well worth break and a plunge in a friendly staff cocktail party. Of course many of them were buzzed by the alcohol drank during the evening but the ambience stayed polite and it didn't became a wasps' nest. I was a bit afraid that a few of them would take advantage of the occasion to sting their unappreciated co-workers because their has been many tensions in the hive during the season, but it all floated smoothly.

Although, even if a swarm of employees has left the camp already, the season is not over yet. There will be many other vacationers flying in in the upcoming weeks but it won't be as intense as it has been in the high season.

So now, it's back to work for the off-season until october when the camp will hibernate.

I think I'm gonna take a nap

If I may, Mr. Hungry, use your SRT (seemingly random thoughts) post format because it's exactly what I feel like doing.

After celebrating the end of my 365 project, I found myself unable to stop taking photos on a daily basis. So I kept on taking them and told myself, if I change my mind I will have them. It lasted one week until I finally realized that it would be easier for me to resume my project than to end it. So here I am back again with those crazy 365ers. And I have been welcomed back to the group in such a nice way that I now hardly understand why I had decided to leave them. And last Sunday, the ice cream robber chase around member's photo was particularly funny.

In the last weeks, my neck pain returned. I was okay during my summer trek and even in the month after it but with my return to work, the pain came back. So I went back to see my osteopath. A very skilled woman who began to work on my psychological side as much as my musculoskeletal system. I'm confident that she will help me find the real source of my pain and she will always amazed me by how she can act on my body so powerfully with some almost unperceivable manipulations. Just by the way I feel (like if I did a ten round boxing match) the day after my treatment (like presently) makes me believe that she really doing a deep work.

Next Thursday night I'm going camping. No I won't be on a holiday, actually I'll be working.
Well it's part of the Project C.
We have organized a night of camping in the park with the young participants of the Project C. It's the second group and we have more problems with them than with the first one. I had to get rid of 3 participants last week because they were bad influences for the others and prevent the rest of the group to evolve. But now that we have a remaining group that has some potential to do something with their lives, we thought that a night of camping at 0ºC would tighten the bonds between us and the participants and stop those negative perceptions like we are a some evil bosses exploiting some poor young defenceless participants by making them work physically !

Sorry for the lack of visit at your blogs but it is one of those period when I feel uninspired. So instead of writing unfelt comments, I better wait until my inspiration come back.

And finally If I haven’t lost you already during this SRT post, here's a few photos I took last week on a beautiful early morning while I was doing some unpaid overtime...again:




And here is a couple more I took also during work. I especially like the green, orange and red contrast of the first one. All those and a few new ones can be found in my APN album.
