Doesn’t that look like a fascinating job?
I love it that we personally know this great guy!!
Job security during the COVID-19 pandemic:
The tigers must be fed and cared for.
Not just ANYBODY can do that!
Heck, you just throw the meat in his mouth, right?
Ah, there’s more to it than that?
Uh… ya!!
It’s not a job I could handle.
How about YOU?
Social Distancing!
What’s the most fascinating job you’ve ever had?
Mine was teaching K-8
in a juvenile hall near San Francisco,
It was back in the days when
kids waiting for foster care placement
were incarcerated along with older kids
who were jailed because of violent behavior.
But that’s a fascinating story for another day.
Tell me the story of your fascinating job…
or one you know about
because a friend or family member had it.
I’d love to hear from you.
Have a Fabulous Friday.
See ya later.

Thank you. Yes, having all the children bunched together in spite of wy they were there was difficult on all of them. Thank you for your comment – and compassion. Thanks, too, for your appreciation of the tiger photos. Pat Martin-Vegue is a great trainer/photographer/ former student/ friend.
