The past few days were hectic but fun. I'm working at the Night Safari now for the Show Department and learning more things than I thought I would. It's hard at first, because I knew nothing about nothing and everyone is always on the move, in a rush for time, so no one could stop and explain what or how I should go about doing things. People are so tightly strung that the tension is unimaginable. Anything said or done wrongly might trigger an unwanted outburst.

The lousy thing about working for a company is having to put up with erratic moods of those above you, be meek and smile at everything when all you wanna do is make some sarcastic remark (and get fired). Rawr.

But nevertheless, it's an enjoyable employment. You get to go up close to the "creatures of the night", feed the animals, work behind the scenes, make friends with tribal people, talk to people of all nationalities. And I learnt how to use a walkie-talkie! The first time I used it I went "hello hello", and I got blasted for it because I'm supposed to use professional walkie-talkie lingo like "send over", "come in come in", "roger". Whatever.

And the best part is I don't have to work in an office, at all. I like this job.
