Assiniboine Park Zoo, big girl pants, blessed, doors, food, moments, plants, swag, The Leaf, training, weather, widow, zoo

I’ve been enjoying taking any training that I can to learn more about the Leaf and Zoo…

spent an hour Thursday morning to see how volunteering at the front of the zoo works…

afterwards I went to Volunteer Services and collected all the swag I have earned over the last four months…

what a haul;-)…

I was also able to purchase a volunteer hoodie which is going to be well used as the weather gets colder…

I’m thinking the entrance area will be chilly with the doors opening and closing all day…

lunch out, and then a shift at The Leaf…

it was a rather full day…

projects…

I’ve been working on a few technology projects, including reading a very long manual, lol… I am amazed at how easily and quickly I seem to have forgotten how to spend a serious amount of time learning…

I’ve also been learning and sharing information on how to make programs work… this makes me think about what a great job those who provide this type of information over the phone or computer do… clearly, they are amazing and should get lots of kudos…

it takes excellent understanding and clear directions to help get something working for someone from a distance… I think of my son-in-law who climbs into my computer from away and figures out the problem and either fixes it, or walks me through the process to get things working again… all without a single complaint about what I might have done that may have caused the problem in the first place…

thinking this is good practice in patience and happy to be relearning this skill…

counting down these last few working days…

today I wrote procedures, did a bit of training, tidied files, and boxed up a number of my plants…

clearly I should have moved the plants last week when it was around zero… today is was -27…

it looks like they made it okay… I’ve emptied the box and tomorrow I will bring home the remaining plants;-)…

and then we will see…
