So while at the Quidditch World Cup, I met the guys from Starkid wandering behind the bleachers. I asked for a photo, one said yes, then they all started talking to someone else, took a photo with them, then started to leave. So I politely asked again, totally fine if they had to leave, and they begrudgingly took one and turned down some poor Starkid fanatic and sped away on a golf cart. I’m about to type words that are basically tumblr sacrilige: STARKID, I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH YOU.
I finally saw Star Trek: Into Darkness. That means it’s safe to come back to tumblr, right?
I survived. And maybe, just maybe I’ll get to finally get to say I’m living the dream as a zookeeper.

Fingers crossed.

So that job I applied for a few weeks ago?

Yeah, I have an interview for it tomorrow.

At least I’m getting looked at this time! Then again, so are three of my coworkers and several interns. I’m crossing everything I get it, but realistically, I’m not sure I have a fighting chance.

Either way, fingers crossed! It’s my first big girl interview, so to speak, where I’m interviewing for my dream job.

Currently watching an Emu recover after sedation. No one else is around. I feel like a badass.

Spent a little extra time with my favorite girl today.

To hear one if our education keepers say, “That bird completely adores you!” when I’ve never heard any of them say it to any other fellow educator or docent prior? When it isn’t the first time my relationships with many of our education animals have been praised?

Hot fucking damn, it makes me feel good, tumblr. I’m GOOD at what I do.

Applied for another vacancy at my zoo. There are three positions needing to be filled and they seem to not be considering anyone internal for any of them. It kills me, because my latest job is IN the animal department. I should be a shoe in for any vacancy, but a change in management, high up, has kept it from happening that anyone inside the zoo, intern, employee, or volunteer, gets a shot.

You have no idea how frustrating it is to watch keepers get hired who don’t have an attachment to the zoo come in and get hired when I’ve been at my zoo nearly three years.


I’m whiny tonight, tumblr. But I’m absolutely gutted that I can’t make one job turn into another.

Poking the nose of our retired old lady Coendou. It feels like a marshmallow!

I FREAKING LOVE THIS JOB, OKAY?

Hai tumblr. I’m officially 26 now. I’m old.

FACT: My boys are cuter than yours, especially Luke Skywalker!

So… that internship in Hawai’i?

GOT IT.

On the spot. Without actually applying. And only answering, like, six quick questions, if that. Granted, this all depends on if I can get my money together to afford life in Hawai’i for four months. Kickstarter advice anyone?
