so...yeah...squee!
i didnt say anythgin because well i figured if i dont the only one that will be disapointed is me...
but...
that doesnt matter now...
Because i GOT THE JOB!
yes i know i HAD a job, but that job sucked and i took it a something to tide me over...
i didnt quit my job untill today...because i wanted to be sure before i told them i wouldnt be comming back...
yesterday, after some calls and emails back and forth i whent back for a second shadow day with the curator at lionshare zoo (not yet open to the public)
i spent the day working my ASS off ... it wasnt a busy day which made it even harder because i had to try and make it look like i was always doing something even if there wasnt much to do.
i shadowed lisa most fo the day, took food, helped spot clean, lots of sweeping ect. In the cases where lisa was on the phone or had to go off and feed the baby squirrell monkey i would grab the broom, or do dishes or wipe down the refridgerator... just to keep moving.
the rest of the time was spent meeting animals checking enclosures and then...at the end of the day lisa took me for one last ride around in the truck, told me of the current plans for the zoo and after some dicussion...offered me the job as a full time zoo keeper!!!!!!!
this job pays more (though not much more) than the one i had and is doing something ive wanted for longer than i can even remotly remember...
i sent an email of resignation to the corporate office (because they needed one) and will go hand my shirts in on sunday
i start my new life as a zo keeper on monday...
now i just need to make sure to absorb every little bit of info i can, learn fast and always keep moving.
im sooo excited!
