OMG, guys.

OMG. A few weeks ago a little birdie (AKA the lead at the WAP bird show) told me they'd be hiring in the Behavior Department at the Wild Animal Park soon. Today I checked it out and...*7* positions. Admittedly, 4 are part-time without benefits, but if that's all I can get, I'll take it. 2 of them, as near as I can figure, are working at the bird show (dream job!), and the other 5 are at the Compound, which does animal encounters, the cheetah run, etc. The Minnesota Zoo is still my top choice, but this is absolutely my second choice, if I could pick anything, and with 7 openings (7!!!), I have a fantastic chance of getting hired. Especially seeing as I know several of the people who would be doing the hiring. OMG. OMG, guys, this is a dream come true. I SO needed this.

This brightened my week inordinately because today was the first of 11 days covering my old pet-sitting job (as the boss is on her honeymoon), and even as a light day I remember exactly why I hated this job. But I need the money. And it gives me a chance to visit my old LA stomping grounds.

So, PLAN: 10 more days of this, cram in a Bones/West Wing marathon with balmyone, Vegas weekend with Krista (OMG, awesome last-minute invite), Halloween weekend pet-sitting for one of the bird show gals. And hopefully somewhere in all of that hearing about this JOB. *flail*
