Seriously ?!

It's not often that I feel my job is all that rewarding. However, there are occasions. Last week was one of them.

A lady, her husband, and his uncle and aunt from Turkey came through about an hour before closing. It creeped me out at 1st b/c I swear this lady looked a lot like Terry Irwin (ya know, the crocodile hunter's wife). She was excited about everything I had to say. Since it was slow, I went ahead and followed them in the caribbean tunnel area and was talking about different things w/ the fish, sharks and the sea turtle. This lady (who I later found out her name was Bridget), got so into what I was telling her that I swear her eyes were permanently glued open. They kept asking questions and ended up talking w/ me for over an hour. They were extremely thankful for all the information that I shared that they wanted to take a picture w/ me. I said, sure ok, so somewhere out there is a picture of me w/ a couple of guests in the shark tunnel. *snickers*

This was one of the 1st times I can honestly say I felt my job was rewarding. Most of the time I feel like I'm just there to guard the touch tanks, and that never makes me feel like my day of work was worth anything ya know ?
