I herd cats and cry in the bathroom

edit for real description:

I am in charge of up to thirty kids by myself at a daycare in a rich Dallas area neighborhood. they range in age from five to twelve. I have to make them sit quietly and do homework after they've had a full school day. I also have to come up with organized activities they can do as a group, which is a little difficult when about half of them are young teens and the other half have the cognitive abilities of flagamuffin an untrained dog. I am paid poverty level wages for this.

our summer program starts soon. it runs a full workday instead of just after school and we've enrolled fifty.

I would prefer to be unemployed.
