If I Ran The Zoo

 This is me pretending to be Large and In Charge while the owners are away for the day.  I’ve got keys to all the doors AND the toilet paper holders.   I’ve got the office phone.   I’ve got a Walkie-Talkie that I can call Russ on to make him do the jobs I don’t want to do…just kidding. We have things split up fairly well already.  

On a typical day we start work at 9, open the office, check the showers and restrooms to see if they need attention (usually yes). Here is our “exhausting” commute..  we walk from our trailer to the office!

We see who has checked in after hours and update the magic board you see behind me in the photo

We help folks dump their waste water tanks, check folks in and out of the park, take phone calls, make reservations, sell snacks and souvenirs in the office.  

We clean the Cabin and the Yurt, launder the bedding, sell firewood, pick up the trash,  and chat with guests.  We clean the bathrooms, showers and office.  

If I ran the zoo then the only thing I would change is I’d get rid of the paper shower mats that get gross after they get wet and require frequent changing.  But I do NOT really run the zoo.  I might qualify to be in charge of the nuthouse, though!
