Eilene and I made an excursion out to the Dallas Zoo today. I was on a bit of a scouting mission, I confess.

An entry level keeper makes the same amount of money I make now. Oddly enough, there is more opportunity for promotion at the zoo than there is at my current job. Dallas is in a hiring freeze until October, but it’s likely there will be openings at the reptile house sooner than there will be anywhere else at the zoo.

I hate my current job, and I hate getting up in the morning. I’m applying to the zoo in this next week.
