children's camp?

Dave's ESL Cafe has a new job ad up—just one. While it looks tempting, it's still children's camp for eight days, and there are a few off-putting stipulations.

  1. Live a "healthy lifestyle." They specify that this means no drinking and no smoking, but I have to wonder if that includes a component of athleticism, which I in my current fallen state do not possess and, really, never have possessed. I can't be involved in heart-pumping games of running and jumping.
  2. Be working somewhere else. It's not enough to have an "F" visa: You have to be employed elsewhere as well. I don't think that includes us freelancers.
  3. The camp dates are from July 26 to August 2, some the worst days of summer, and quite possibly rainy as well (monsoon season).

The pay looks great for only eight days, but I believe I'll pass. To paraphrase Kirk from Star Trek II, this is a game for the young. And healthy.
