Sarah's Daily Adventures: Life Right Now

I feel like my life is in limbo. Its been an interesting week to say the least, yesterday I put in my 2 week notice at Petsmart and earlier this week i found out I did not get the job at the aquarium. So therefore I have been applying to a bunch of jobs including being a biological aide, biological technician, and park ranger all for the government, a contract and temporary naturalist, a butterfly exhibit assistant manager, and several summer camp instructor positions. If nothing contacts me by the time Im done at Petsmart I will apply for the humane society as a petcare person or manager.

Wednesday was spent instead of going to the zoo I went to several nature centers and asked about jobs....volunteering is all they have for now especially if they are connected to the government due to the financial sequestration. Positive note is that the Audubon Naturalist Society emailed me back about the contract naturalist position and is keeping my resume for the fall, but she did pass my resume on to the director for summer camps.

Other than that Thursday was pretty interesting because the weather had been predicted to storm pretty bad twice once in the morning and once during the evening commute. Well I still went to the zoo and was working on fish food prep when the sky became black we thought the worst was there in the morning but luckily it just rained a little. The worst of it came when I was driving home, you could see the wall of rain coming and then all of the sudden it was a torrential downpour with a lot of wind. I could barely see the lines on the road and we were all going around 10 mph due to all of the rain and water on the road. Luckily it only lasted 5 minutes but it was crazy. I even heard the storm created a tornado but I wasnt near it at the time. Last year's derecho was much....MUCH worse, but it still wasnt fun to be in the thick of it in my car. The weathermen say this happens maybe once a year or every other year.

Meanwhile I have been busy these past 2 weeks I have been busy animal sitting, first for one of my coworkers and her hamster and this weekend for one of my neighbors and their dog.

Ok so.................adorable dog pictures are in order I believe:

So I have officially become corgi obsessed i follow corgi blog pages and have joined this social site called packlove.com where you make a page for your own dog and they are grouped by breed. To become a part of the site you need to have someone invite you though. I love looking at other peoples' dogs even if they arent corgis. I even was able to find Tesla's brother who lives in california named Story. He's pretty adorable and looks very similar but without the 2 face affect. Meanwhile look at a few pics from the dogs i follow and you can check out their websites:
