Work at DRC is just great! Last Monday I got to feed AJ, Jax, and Talon! It just felt so natural for me to be down there on the docks with them and just hanging out. I'm not allowed to give them signals yet, these are just free feeds. This means I go down there and the dolphin gets to do whatever they want and I just feed them. Its a great opportunity for me to get to know the dolphins, and the dolphins to start to get to know me. At DRC, all trainers work with all dolphins. So that means I have 22 little gray faces to get to know and they all have to get to know me too....I'm excited to learn more about each one of them and their own personalities. Heres a picture of each of the ones I've gotten to spend time with so far:
Talon
Jax
AJ
I also started work at my second job on Monday. It is going well too. I'm learning how to be a "sales" person and sell rooms. I also didn't realize how much people will try to talk you down in price! Its really crazy how people will call and keep saying "Is that as low as you can go?" and they just don't stop. I also have to memorize each room on all three properties, so that will come with time also. I do get to wear a cool striped shirt just like the ones in Saved by the Bell when they worked at the hotel in the summer....yup looks just like those! haha
It is taking some getting used to working two jobs. I know I can handle it but sometimes it seems very overwhelming! I am just trying to take it one day at a time. It also stinks because this week with training, I had to work on Tuesday morning which was when I was going to try out the old lady bible study :( Hopefully I'll be able to go next week and let you guys know how it goes.
I've also done a lot of catching up with people and that has been so good to hear from so many great friends! I talked to Sarah Bertz for like 30 min. tonight, and then I talked to Lauren Jeffery for a while the other day, and of course keeping up with the old roomies :) Speaking of that....finding someone to live in my room has been like a soap opera!! I thought I had someone and then she cancelled at the last min....well then she thought she found someone else and I was kind of worried about her because I didn't know her at all....the next thing I know, the previous girls called me and told me this new girl had gotten in a car accident and could live there anymore!! Anyway, long story short....this new girl, Sharri, is going to be living in my room and I'm really excited about her. Shes seems really nice and sweet and I think she will get a long great with everyone.
To all my people who are reading this with snow and ice....please be careful! Mom told me this morning before I went to work "be careful, the roads are slick!" haha....not here they aren't!! Today was the hottest day so far or at least it felt like it! I think it reached 78! Right now it is 8:30 at night and 71 degrees....sorry for all you people with 20 degree weather, but I am NOT missing that!
Bear update: Right now Bear is running around my apartment with a paper clamp thing (one of those black ones you use to hold a bunch of papers together with). He gets wild at this time of night. Hes gotten so he wants to eat and drink everything I do, so of course I let him. He loves ramen noodles and cheese itz...and not a fan of oatmeal (he puked that up about 5 min. after he ate it...gross). He also likes to drink water out of my cup and not out of his bowl. Wow, I think I'm spoling him....just a little :)
Have a wonderful night! xoxo
