Having to transfer Jobcorp centers because my disability makes me unable to continue to do any of the trades offered at the one I'm at. . . Feeling feelings about this.

This is Burdick job corps in North Dakota!

This is actually the girls dorm. In the pictures are the front of the dorm, as soon as you walk in, and then my room!

Girls have bathrooms in their rooms, along with showers with a bathtub. Sorry guys, you don’t have bathrooms in your rooms, and you definitely don’t have a bathtub.

Me the second I get a proper knee brace to help with my hyperextended knee pain: I wanna run down The Hill (the single big ass hill that we have to walk to get from dining hall to dorm)

Friend: nooooo you'll fall and hurt yourself

Me with zoomies: but I wanna

Him: no.

Me the second I'm out the door: *breaks into a sprint*

Friends: there he goes! He's got the zoomies!

Me: *starts running down the hill* I CANT STOP

Friend from up the hill: YOU DONT SAY

Me (a texan living in south dakota): I don't like the peaches here :(

Friends who are from here: what? Why?

Me immediately: PEACHES. SHOULD NOT. BE CRUNCHY. >:( I SHOULD NOT BITE INTO A PEACH AND HEAR APPLE SOUNDS >:(((

Some Jobcorps humor

*minor inconvenience* "I'm willing to get termed over this"

"OSHA VIOLATION"

"That's a write up" "do it you won't"

*unexplained beef between trades claiming to be the best*

"Thats not very employment readiness of you"

"I'm resigning" "no, not allowed."

*lightly tapped* "ASSULT! IM DYING!"

"You could volunteer for *unenjoyable activity*" "I'd do it for a positive on my card 👀👀"

*spots an issue that is a certain trades job to fix* "where is *trade* when you need them? (Even better if it's the person's who's saying it trade)

"Summer camp prison" when describing jobcorps

"At least we're not in *other dorm*"

"It could be worse. You could be in *other center/trade*"

"You can't say/do that anymore, we're federal employees!"

"I'll stop *breaking minor rule no one cares about* when the government stops trying to kill me" (usually said by a minority of some kind)

"F<ck yeah! Government *basic necessity like water, blankets, shower supplies*"

"That's it, I'm unionizing." "We can't unionize. Most of us are minors."

(When traveling somewhere other than the state the center is in) "wow look at all this *construction work of various types*. The jobcorps kids here must have *various trades similar to the construction type*"

"I want you all to *do task after work hours* for me" "do we get paid over time?" (Spoiler, we don't.)

"I'm tired of this grandpa!" "That's too Damn bad! You keep *insert task here*"

"I'm not paid enough to care about that." (Usually involves some unnecessary drama)

"Stop complaining and enjoy the free health care."

*coming back from getting blood drawn/vaccines* "I got stabbed!"

Everyone jokes about the whole 'parents ground me by telling me to go outside' bit, but I'm currently in job corps and just had an spp (student punishment panel) for being late to lodge and my punishment is I have to go outside and not come back to the dorm until 8 because I normally don't leave it at all so they couldn't just hold me in as a punishment.
