The rabies lab is a creepy place
I had to take a dead bat to a very creepy basement lab to be tested for rabies. On my way there I saw a bum on the corner with a cardboard sign begging for money. I wouldn't have thought anything of it except this bum was listening to an ipod! I couldn't help but stare. Then a man walked up to the bum and asked him for money. The bum reached into his pocket and gave the man a handful of money, but wait it gets weirder! Then the two men, clean man and dirty bum...hugged! And clean man walked away. The bum went back to begging. I continued on to the lab. I followed the directions the lady on the phone gave me and parked in the paid lot. Then I was told to walk down the ally in back of the building and go in the unmarked door. Inside the door there is an elevator (also unmarked), go down to the basement and outside the elevator there is a window with a cranky lady who has no idea whats going on. Talk to her. She had me fill out a card saying things like where I worked and where the bat was found. She read over the card, looked at my uniform and asked where I worked. It was everything in me not to be a smart ass and say something brilliant like Costco. I finished there and got back to the zoo. I asked Dr L to please never let me go there ever again. Creepy basement lab!
