It started off with feeding the hyacinth macaw that freaks me out anyways. That face is just wrong and way to big! I was trying to be nice (and brave) and I said to him "good morning. can you get off the door?" He responded by screaming at me and projectile shitting thru the mesh door and all down my left side, down my leg and into my rubber boot. Thanks Indigo you blue demon! Then I went to pick up my check in the main office. I took the golf cart and drove around back. Half way there my phone rang and even though I didn't recognize the number I answered anyways. Is this Michelle? Yes. Michelle my name is (this is the part I wasn't really listening because I didn't really care but should have been listening. I think she said her name was Suzy) and I got your number from Judy (I think she means my aunt). We are cousins! Can you talk?She said all this very fast and then paused. My response was something like "um ok". Then she went on. I live in Fresno too and I think its a shame we arn't close. I think we will be very good friends! do you still work at the zoo? Yes. I was supposed to go to the zoo today with my friend but I'm having my hair done right now. What time do you get off work? 4. But I'm busy after work today. That's ok. Save my number in your phone and I'll call you around 5 tonight ok? Well sweetie I gotta go but I'll talk to you later. We are going to be the best of friends won't that be great because we are cousins! click and she was gone. Note to self call aunt Judy and tell her not to be giving my number and work place out to crazy people! And for the most important question: Do I answer my phone tonight. I'm thinking no. but if I don't will she randomly show up at my work?! Hmmmmm. Thats a tough one. I had pulled over to the curb in the cart to let other cars pass as I was on the phone (also its illegal). After I was so rudely hung up on I pushed the gas to continue on and almost (like within inches) take out an old woman and her little old dog. The woman was totally unphased. She says "What's going on? Why are there so many police around the zoo?" I said (as politly as I could after almost running her over) I'm not sure. I'm zoo and the police are at storyland. She says "You have a radio. can you radio and ask someone?" No. I'm with the zoo. That is storyland and we don't communicate like that. Well where are you going? I'm going to the zoo office. Well can you ask them there and then let my know? I'll be at the dog park. Ok I can not do that. Yes you can come find me. Really? Like REALLY? Could this get anymore weird?! I get to the office and tell Mayra about the weirdness. Everyone in the office has a good laugh at my expence and I head back to the hospital. As soon as I get back an step off the cart I hear a call on the radio summonsing me back to the office because the animals I found out late yesterday and forgot about today have arrived. Really? I turn around and pick up the box of mystery lizards (all I was told is they are lizards so what kind is a suprise and don't we all love suprises). Turns out there are 2 very cool geckos and 2 different types of skinks for a grand total of 4 little lizards. i was a little worried because I wasn't really set up for them then low and behold Mark had that covered. Weird!
I finally made it to lunch! Woohoo! Makes me scared about what the rest of the day will hold....
