Working with animals isn't just a job, it is a calling, it is a way of life. It defines you. If you disagree, you should do something else.

Bummed that tonight's PaxU JoCo P&S show isn't being streamed like all the other Main Theater events. Set aside time to watch and everything.

The bus system is a major reason why I left the city and when I was looking for a place here, it had to be walkable/bikeable to work. Wasn't possible in Ottawa to find affordable housing anywhere near my job.

There was a #veterinary medicine category on @Jeopardy tonight and I am dead. Even better, an answer about fish anesthesia! Amazing.

TFW many of your friends and colleagues are at the annual LAS conference but you are stuck in Canada house-sitting and doing elder care because you can't read your own goddamn schedule.

Zoo social media folks: please don't share photos of awake radiographs (X-rays) with your animals, where multiple staff are being exposed to radiation. It's a practice that needs to go away, especially for a "routine" non-emergency procedure.

Can I just say: using a PVC cutter and manually chamfering schedule 80 PVC is sooooo satisfying. And that's not just the solvent fumes talking!

Got to try out like $5k worth of kit today at the zoo, and I was so excited/scared to break anything that I failed to set the camera to RAW π

Still got some decent photos, though. It makes me sad that I'll *never* be able to afford a camera as cool at that Z6iii. Geez things have come a long way since the days of my (current) D7000.

A propos of nothing, I want to say I've lived in #AuroraCO for nearly 5 years. I love it here, I can cycle to work or on a number of great trails. The fucking FOOD options in this city. Incredible. Also, there's pronghorn.
