Professionalism
Recently, I wanted to get into some volunteer work and my friend who worked at a local community centre was able to hook me up with a volunteer experience today. It is a daycamp and for today's activity we went to a park/waterpark. Since I am completely new, and I joined the daycamp mid-way through, no one knew me except my friend, and a few people I just knew from outside the daycamp.
Now, as I was keeping an eye out for the kids, I noticed one of the more senior leaders on the swingsets. I walked up to him and jokingly said "Hey, man are you slacking off? I'm keeping my eyes on you!". I guess he didn't appreciate the joke because he then went up to my friend who brought me in and said "who is that guy, he has got to go."
Now my friend is telling me, if I want to continue volunteering, he has to talk to the guy about this situation. What are you guy's take on this situation? I feel like if I apologize, I'm almost apologizing for my personality, rather than something I did.
