They said i had a battery in my throat...

Oh yesterday was insane...there were a bagillion people at the zoo yesterday. Today wasn't too bad, but there were three birthday parties and produce, and all sorts of other crap i couldn't get done...

But the birthday party is the best....so when we get a birthday party at the zoo they get to pick what animal we'll bring in and talk about, they don't get to touch the animal (which i think is stupid, who cares then?) But basically we talk about it for 5-10 minutes and they can look but not touch, and then we leave...pretty exciting?? Well i had one today with the three toed box turtle, the kids had no attention span, and they kept trying to touch it, and no one was paying attention....it was really stupid, then as i'm trying to explain why we don't let them touch; specifically the turtles, cuz it could make you really sick, this little girl goes..."I was really sick a couple weeks ago and they said i had a battery in my throat." Uh...huh? what?? Where are your parents?!?! I left after that....

Bahahaha.

I also had my first run-in with the Hognose snake....eeeeee!! So when i first started working there debra told me these horror stories about how he would hiss and spit at her and strike at her when she would go in his exhibit...well for the past two weeks, he has been really chill and i was getting really comfortable going in and changing his water....whatever, he was usually in his little box....Well this morning he shed his skin, which was gross, and i had to get it out and that was fine because he had gone back in his little box....until later..................I was gonna get a dead stick out of there and i thought he was still in his box, so i put my key in the back (You have to also realize that these boxes are very high and the door practically opens above my head and when completely open swings down right level with my face.) So i put my key in the back, and i hear this "Hisssssssss" and i'm like huh, that's weird, and so i open the door alittle bit and i hear a louder "Hiiiiiiiiissssssssssss" and then something whack the door from the inside, He striked at the door!!!! Ahhhhhh, jesus, i shut that door so fast, and peed my pants, and my heart just about pounded right out of my mouth....it was terrifying!!!!! I went to the front of the exhibit to see through the glass, and he was right there, just waiting for me to open the door and rip my face off....oooooo so scary!!!!!! ekkkk.

Anywhooooooooooooooooooooo.

Gotta go back tomorrow, there are no quitters in baseball....or something, i stink.
