Work, Volunteering, and joining organizations

So I havent talked about work in forever.....and I decided to post a blog now because cable went out while watching harry potter.....stupid comcast.....grrr.  Anyways work....where to begin????  I just had my 3 month review and I got a 10 cent raise.  We have been very busy these past few weeks because 1 week my manager and another pet care girl took off for the week leaving me and 1 other girl for the whole week.  7am to 10pm.......long day.  She would open the store and I closed, I wound up working 5 days for the past 2 weeks at 35 to 38 hours a week.  And then would volunteer on one of my off days at the zoo.  And on top of that we had the crazy storm/power outage.  I am pretty worn out to say the least.  


Also we have had some animal issues lately.  We have been getting chinchillas in and a few weeks after being here they mysteriously die.  We have sent the latest off for a professional necropsy to try to figure out what is happening.  Also some of the ball pythons decided to not eat and have been forcefed now for 3 weeks almost.


Other than that its the normal work things and people not listening to me when I tell them what all is needed for buying a certain pet.


ANYWAYS volunteered at the zoo today...it was 99 degrees with a heat index of 105.  Lets just say I am not used to that. I drank the water in my canteen and filled it up a total of 3 times.  I talked with the camel guy mostly since we didnt have a lot of people doing rides.  We talked about his children and my husband since he has a son in the military.  


After volunteering I came home and took a much needed shower and ate some broccoli for lunch.  Then I immediately headed out to the zoo again to go to the aazk meeting for the first time.  I liked it...need to meet more people there, but I met the president and talked with her after the meeting and she even drove me back up to my car.  I look forward to going and becoming more involved with the group.


Well figured out why the cable was out....we had an outstanding cable bill from the very first month when they billed us twice......paid and now have cable again!!!!
