Sara and I were driving to Summer Camp. It was actually a little tricky to find. You'd drive along this highway, pass a gas station and some boxy building on top of a hill, and then the entrance to Summer Camp was a few blocks after that, on the left (i.e. the east side).

When I came in (maybe Sara was off somewhere else at this point), there were walls of equipment everywhere. Mostly amplifiers. I had a station assigned to me. A lady nearby helped me figure out how to hook my equipment up to a nearby amplifier using a thick single-conductor cable with a compression fitting on the end that screwed onto a connector on the amplifier, pressing the central conductor down onto a thick metal bump in the middle of the connector on the wall. The lady who was helping me pointed out there was also a coffee dispenser on this wall, so I got some slightly fancy coffee from it. Then I wondered if I was supposed to pay for it. I looked around and found a sign that seemed to indicate that a cup of coffee was 83 cents. But I didn't know who to pay and didn't have any cash on me anyway. I decided not to worry about it.

There was a single guy in charge of this operation. He had a shaved head and looked like some weightlifting trainer. He greeted everyone as they came in and made announcements and call meetings and stuff. Everybody liked him.

As I was walking through a central area with lots of people it occurred to me that most people were not wearing masks, but we probably should be. So I put mine on.

Then Mr. camp leader counsellor trainer guy called a meeting and we all sat down in a conference room. I guess we were programming something in C#. And then I remembered that I had interviewed at this place before and they hadn't wanted to hire me, and I should be bitter about that, but really I just wanted to talk about programming. So I talked about how C# can be very verbose, and recalled having to mark up individual method parameters in some way. It was like interfaces, but another level of abstraction, and these ones tended to be spelled lower-case and in parentheses. And that got me wondering where it was that I had done all this C# programming, because I couldn't think of any time since college that I had done much of that.
