Work..... hurt today *chuckles*
I had to work with V (and we all know how much I love the dear, sweet girl *dry look*) and another of the newer keepers (another C, I'll get a nickname eventually, I know too many people that have names beginning with C.....). This newer girl, not that bad, though is a complete and utter follower. Which again, isn't that bad, if she didn't take her deer (deer? *SMACKS* dear......), sweet time doing it.
But, she's pretty cool
As V and I are letting the bears out in the morning...... "kkkkrrsht..... C____ called again, she's still feeling very ill, so she won't just be late, she won't be in" comes over the radio.
This leaves me to work alone with V.
I wanted to just swandive into the bear pond with my big male then and there and beg him to save me.
So, add this to my keeping of the mammals today, and the male bobcat needs new meds, so I have to make sure he eats them (and not, subsequently, me in the process), then make sure to get the ear infection medication into the older male racoons ear (and not, subsequently, all over me) AND find a way to get one of the male deer to eat a quarter tab of bute so that we can get the arthritis swelling in his ankles to go down (have I mentioned our male deer have a habit of attacking people?).
I have mammals..... making sure V gets raptors done on time, then have to clean and feed quarantine, indoor mammals and children's park, make food for tomorrow for the entire damn zoo (we normally just make for our own area)....... by 9am I was looking foreward to 5:15 and a few tequila shots......
Insert mental shutdown there. Yep, total pause, brows lifted, looking quite blank even.
*wry chuckle*
I'll come back to this later. *puts postit note on monitor to remind self*
Poor thing. :) [Mac]
