Termination for lack of a better word...
So I got fired today.... When I told my boss about the two weeks I needed off for the trip to Kenya he told me he'd have to refill my position. I could work until the trip but wouldn't work afterwards. I told him I understood and tried to hold back the tears in my eyes as I thought about how terrible it would be not to work there anymore...
About a half an hour later though, he unfired me! Decided that he would still hire someone new but keep me on as well and apologized for seeming so harsh. I was so relieved I wanted to hug him! It just reinforces how much I adore the zoo and all the staff I work with.
So one more hurdle vaulted! Africa here I come!
Huggles!

I need the vet. :)
So I was showing Noah and Alex a toad I'd found this morning, and when I went to put him back in the yard he jumped out of my hands onto a stepping stone. There was an audible snap noise and he started jumping funny. Pretty sure he broke his back right leg. So of course, I feel like the most horrible person in the universe because I didn't immediately put the little guy in a shoebox to keep him safe, but what would I have done with him? I guess the better question is, what should I have done?
All this guilt over something three inches long. :(

Huggles hun, you didn't mean to do it. If his bone snapped from a fall as short as that then he wasn't a very hearty toad anyways and probably wouldn't have survived long anyways. Did you go ahead and release him?
Hannah, you scared me half to death with the beginning of this entry. I paced away from the computer and developed a complicated plan to apply for your position with a faked resume and fake references, then suddenly quit after your return. Then I read the rest of the entry. Oh, she was unfired ...
It was a shitty thing for your boss to do, but at least you know you're so important they can't be without you! They get irrational and angry at the thought of being away from you!
Awww I'm so flattered that you would have gone to such lengths! But yea it was really taumatizing to think of not working there anymore but the outpour of support from my co-workers was extremely touching and once my boss settled down it was obvious that he really does like having me there. So in the end, it really just makes me love the place more.
ps. Em I miss you terribly! We need to get together!
He was sitting on a pile of dirt by my tree the next day, watching the trunk and eating bugs off of it. I don't know where he went after that. I still feel bad. :s
Huggles dear! I still adore you! In fact, I think you are toad-ally awesome! *smirk*
corny hannah....real corny...
