So... i have developed mixed emotions about this job. On the one hand I feel like it is going to be loads of fun, on the other i think its going to frustrate me to the point of no return... Our first day of work we had a tour of the zoo (its so big, i am sure i will get lost at some point) then we had interpretive training (super cheesy) and then animal handling training. The problem with having bosses whose job is to teach little kids it that that mindset never totally leaves.. so when they talk to me, they talk as if i were a 5 year old... I sometimes dont even think they realize they are doing it, but they do all the same... We were hired for a reason. We all have at least somewhat of a clue as to what we are doing, so why not acknowledge that and have some faith. UGH! Today is more animal training. We dont start til 3:30 so this morning i have to go get the first of two drug tests done and then go meet my other boss at the gift shop and fill out paperwork there. I hope today goes ok.... because if they dont stop talking to me like a little kid, idk how i will ever make it through the summer... Maybe it will be better once I get out from under their watchful training eyes and actually teach...
Until Next Time

P.S. I got a P for Practice on holding a box turtle.. How stupid is that... ive been holding box turtles since i was like 3..... she said "I just want to be sure that you remember to pick him up the way WE taught you. Like a hamburger." Like a hamburger? Really... Kindergarten all over again.
