No, not that kind of baby sit…  Since I have an almost three year old who spent the majority of his first two years alone with me while mom worked I think I’m qualified for that kind of babysitting…

No, I’m now qualified to babysit a group of 18-24 year olds who are notorious for getting themselves into trouble…

 Lemme ’splain…

   My day job isn’t at just a plain vanilla training facility, we have full on resident training classes much like a college.  Our student body is about the same age as the average college, however our students aren’t here nearly as long as a college student would be and here they don’t tolerate a lot of the things that the average college student does.

  Now because these students are notorious for getting in to trouble, some poor sap (a responsible poor sap, but a poor sap none the less) has to spend the night in the dormatory and with any luck deter the students from doing stupid things and getting into trouble…. Or at the very least catch them in the act of doing said stupid thing….  Thankfully, it’s not the same poor sap who has to do this every night, however I’m now one of those poor saps…

  Some of the things I get to look forward to:

  • Students oversleeping and not getting up to man the phone bank like they’re supposed to
  • Students not doing the clean up’s they’re assigned to do
  • Students having alcohol in their room even though it’s forbidden
  • Students who are under age having alcohol in their room…
  • Students breaking into each other’s rooms and stealing stuff
  • Students coming back from town drunk and damaging stuff
  • Students having sexual relations with each other (which is very much forbidden)
  • Students having sexual relations with each other and posting about it on MySpace
  • Students not having sexual relations with each other and posting on MySpace that they did have relations
  • Students sexually assaulting each other and posting it on MySpace
  • Students using illegal narcotics

I could go on, but I think you get the message… 

To paraphrase an old saying, sometimes I’ve got to wonder if my sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others…
