Out of respect for the Mods... I won't say where this thread has taken my miind....

But thank you for taking it there, LOL!

Only three years until you smell like dead fish? Man, you're lucky! It took my four years to smell like chalk and learn the definition of "crunk." Hmmmm, being an animals trainer, working in a wetsuit and swimming for a living B) ...compared to getting chalk on my clothes, breaking up fights, and being called "teacher" (because I obviously have no other name) . Looks like I picked the wrong line of work!

Stupid punk kids!

You know if you showed up in a wetsuit they'd be like 'PLEASE DON'T FEED ME TO A KILLER WHALE!' ...It's worth a try.

What's really cool is I don't need a university degree in marine biology for it.. it's preferred but if I work my way into it, it's not required..
I might not have to move to Nove Scotia after all!

Just thought I'd update this..

I went for the 'second interview' today, which was really meeting the Marine Mammal bosses to see if they wanted me for a female jester, and if not I was to go over and sign up for cash work..

Within 2 minutes of talking to me they were like 'Congrats, you're the very first female jester at Marineland! ..Now tell us more. What kinda jester-y stuff can you do?'

So I mentioned my cheerleading experience, saying I had stamina and flexibility, as well as drama and stuff like that..
They perked up at cheerleading cos they were picturing gymnastics and stuff so they asked just how flexible I was.. I made both of 'em stand up, and one of he guys was 6 feet tall.. I did a high kick over their heads and they were like 'Holy.. crap.. can you do cartwheels? Handsprings? Juggle?' Um, yes, yes, and yes.

They told me to start desiging a costume, so I went and picked up that pirate pattern I posted earlier.. I'm going to do the pants version, cos that'd be easier for cartwheels.

Training starts May 16th!

whoo-hoo pants! the best thing that ever came of feminism

congrats babe! for she's a jolly good jester, for she's a gooly good jessster!!

 

[littlefishie]

As soon as I make my costume I will post pictures for everyone to laugh. Yay feminism!

I was all excited cos I got to see the dolphins while I was waiting.. it was awesome.

 

[BettaMomma]

How incredibly exciting!!!!
I can't wait to see photos!

 

[pnyklr3]

I'm jealous! You are going to have a blast. And yes, pictures are a must.......but some have to be embarassing!

 

[littlefishie]

Embarassing pics are almost a given with me, I promise..

I'm hoping I might magically come into some money before training day so I can make this outfit and show up in costume.

Right now I'm waiting on a $32 paycheck from an old job but I need $20 up front for the non-jester uniform that I'd wear offstage.
