cblj_backupDay seven, still have not bought monkey.
Actually, it seems as though I never will. The lie was more or less complete, not that I really expected truthfulness from a temp agency. The department I'm in doesn't actually handle purchasing, it handles intake once the animals have been purchased. Which is okay, actually, the work is not that different.
I still have no internets, in part because the login they gave me didn't work, in part because they still won't give me an extra port. So I spent all day, everytime someone asked me to do something, saying "Can't -- I'm not connected, the printer's on." Hopefully someone will get the point. :D
I did manage to get off four resumes to various theatres.
I also spent a good portion of today hauling/lifting/sorting boxes full of rats and mice. I feel like I should be spooked to stand in a small room full of boxes that squeak and make unsettling scrabbling noises, but they're just mice and rats, and even if I were afraid of them (I'm not; I kept mice as pets at one time) they're in plastic boxes.
It is very weird to look at the label on a box and realise that there's a mouse and ten newborn babies inside it, though. And Mama and Troublemaker laughed at me today because they opened the "observation flap" on one of the ratboxes to verify "live reciept" (rat not dead). I promptly said, "COOL! Can I keep it?"
I would make a terrible animal tech. I can see the headline now: MAN STEALS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN RODENTS, BUILDS GIANT HABITRAIL IN UNUSED BEDROOM.
When asked for comment, Mr. Starbuck said, "But I buy them really good cheese!"
