New girl, part 2

Remember when that new apprentice came to work with Alan on Fridays, and then she quit?

Well, there's another new apprentice now. Her name is Sarah. We'll see how long she lasts.

Sarah is nice, but not as nice as the other girl. She told me that she used to work as a volunteer in the education department and that she really didn't like it. So now she's working in animal management. She's going to work all day on Thursdays and Fridays.

She is very talkative. She's nineteen and goes to Laney Community College in Oakland.

She said that she "used to like animals." ?? I should have asked her why she is doing this then. She also thinks zoo keeping is "mindless work."

Sarah didn't know what a lemur was. She'd also never been to the zoo before her apprentice orientation. The lemurs are my favorite animals in the zoo, and you don't even know what a lemur is, and you get to spend more time with them than me?

And this other girl, a paid apprentice named Eugenia, helped out this morning, too. She is very annoying. She said "I have no idea what you do here in the morning, Alan" but she seemed to have no problem telling Sarah and I what to do. When were raking and shoveling in the back of the goat barn, she took the rake and shovel out of my hands just as I was about to rake something up and said, "let me help you." Um, what? Why do you think I need help? I can't tell you how many people I have met that do things for me becuase they think I need "help." In other words, they do things that they think I can't do, or that I can't do the correct way. It's so irritating.

And she has some nerve telling me what to do..... Alan said that last week Eugenia was cleaning out the lemur's night house and she decided to move one set of lemurs into the next cage. Well, the door to the outside was open and all the lemurs got out. So the rival groups started fighting, and one of them got so sacred that he hid up high in some bushes. Alan called for a code yellow, which means that a nondangerous animal had escaped its enclosure. Alan had to push his way through the bushes to get it, cutting himeslf with poison oak.

So, Eugenia, what exactly gives you the idea that you can do things better than me? I've never been dumb enough to move the lemurs, especially since Alan makes it very clear that this is not to happen. B****.

Anyway....... I guess since I got off easy with the other volunteer quitting, I now have to suffer another, less motivated, vulgar one. Haha on me.

Below are my thoughts about yesterday's LOST episode.

--------------

So, can you get any more confusing? Who are these guys? Why do they want Ben? Why doesn't Sawyer kill him already? I wish he would.

And why was the plane underwater? I thought it crashed on the shore.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.
