Working for 24 hours straight is... interesting
-Slept for 4 hours during said shift. Ick.
-Got peed on by a salamander. But not any salamander. No. It's the only salamander native to Arizona. And it's endangered. So there's no being distraught with the pee thing.
-Had to deal with a child who's parents decided it was a good idea to send their daughter to the zoo even though she had an extreme fear of ANIMALS. Seriously. WTF. And she didn't tell anyone about it. Oh no, we had to figure it out when she heard us say "Okay we're going to be bringing out some animals into the classroom" and she nearly had a siezure. She started dry heaving and crying and everything, so we took her in the back to look at Penelope the Tamar scrub wallaby (she is stupidly adorable) and she freaked. We tried to get the child thing to feed her carrots. The child thing was still upset. Why did her parents send her? Really, honestly, that was a good call? That's like putting someone scared of heights on a plane and pushing them out. The child had no clue what was going on and had no idea (for some idiotic reason) that there were animals. At the zoo.
-Got bitched at by parents who wanted to smoke on grounds even though Arizona law makes such an action completely illegal.
-Was called Lindsay because everyone decided I looked like Lindsay Lohan. News flash: I don't.
-Played with ferrets
-Was uncomfortably poochy (that's what happens when you run around the zoo for 20+ hours straight)
-Shamelessly purchased myself the Smithsonian Institution's encyclopedia on animals with my employee discount
-Was lucky that Rob drove back up to Flagstaff
-Am too exhausted and brain dead to do any hw
-Off to bed I go gents, off to bed I go.
