Good lord, I'm beat.
Dec. 4th, 2002 11:57 pmFatigued physically and emotionally.
Let's see...
Worked 7am-2:15pm, learned fun things like how to test the water, cleaned a bunch of fish tanks, collected a bunch of dead fish--the plecos aren't doing so well lately--and was about to go, when..
There was a woman in the store eyeing the macaw and the Amazon; she had plans to buy both, after "falling in love with the macaw" after a day, and wanting to breed her Amazon with this one (if ours was female). So at 2:15 she asks about putting a deposit on the macaw, and I mention that "I think there's someone on the waiting list for the bird ahead of her, let me go talk to my manager." (That someone was me, of course, but I didn't figure she'd appreciate an employee having dibs on bird.) Ross showed up right then, we walked off toward the office, and he tells me he needs a definite answer from me immediately. I call home, discuss it briefly with mom, and she says "I think you're stupid for doing it, but ok.. and I'd kinda like to have it around the house anyway." So I okay it to Ross, make plans to come back later that night, and head home. (The woman was then shown the younger baby macaw, which I think she's buying.)
( The rest of my long, stressful day, wherein I visit Esther and get the macaw )
