Howdy folks! My name is Jon and I'll be driving important people and things all summer long through this little slice of paradise we like to call Camp Kadimah.
Many of you might remember me as that overweight Gibbie who unwittingly had a leech stuck to his butt for a few hours back in '93. Or perhaps you remember me as that trim and chiseled Macharnik who co-captained his Maccabia team to a respectable, some would say classily understated, third place finish back in '00. But most of you probably don't remember me at all. That's because I've been on a five year hiatus from camp. Hard as it is to believe, I have never been a staff member at Camp Kadimah.
So what have I been doing between then and now, you ask? Why, preparing to be the best driver this camp has ever seen, of course! For the past five years, I have been meticulously practicing every element of the art of driving, including how to correctly turn an ignition and what to do in case of an emergency windshied wiper fluid shortage (hint: the answer involves finding more windshield wiper fluid and pouring it into the engine). In my spare time I also worked through three quarters of a four-year Political Science degree at the University of Western Ontario. This year I felt I finally had the kind of experience it would take to earn the privilege of schlepping stuff around camp. Fortunately for me (and unfortunately for anyone else who applied), all my hard work paid off, and I got the job.
If you have any concerns, or just want to know some tips you can use to improve the gas mileage of your van, send off an email to jyazer@uwo.ca. See you this summer!
