Week 34: Spring Break!

"Break" is very loosely used here. We didn't have class this week, but we still had to come in and care for the animals, and we still had shows to do. It was a nice preview of how the summer will go once we hit the swing of things. Drama is rearing its ugly head in several places. People are getting way stressed out now and true, or maybe not so true, colors are starting to come out. My feelings about others are starting to change, some better, some worse. I'm definitely enjoying working with my animals, and I'll get some pictures of that up one of these days. Still no sight of a day off, but some days are much lighter than others.
I'm experiencing some drama with my manager duties. The moron who proclaimed himself in charge of the crates is not effectively doing his job to get us ready for the fire season (which is just around the bend). The other two of us have been pushing him to get it done, but he's really dragging his feet and I'm just praying that on May 13 or so we get to hear the happy news that he didn't make the right score on the test and is now kicked out. Until then, we just have to keep nagging him and he'll keep not doing it because he won't ask us for help and it's a large and overwhelming task... Working with idiots really bites (but you knew that already, didn't you?).
