lionesshathor:loveiseldritch: papprekakinga: Always reblog As a former zookeeper we would hear this a lot. “If you don’t study hard you’ll end up cleaning poop for a living.” It’s the one time we’re allowed to go off on the visitors. I once heard my boss rant for five minutes at a lady, in front of her kids, about how he had a Master’s degree, how people literally worked there for free, and how dare she judge people without bothering to know anything about them. Later that day his boss came by and said, roughly, “She told us what happened. Thanks for not throwing anything this time.” Suburbanites: “If you don’t get good grades, you’ll be scooping poop for a living!”Me, an animal handler: “I love this fucking job because I’m with animals all day and they love me. Also shovelling manure is great for my physique!”An odd plus is the dexterity and skill I’ve developed with tools on a pole. One time at a convention, a guy saw me twirling a prop spear and straight up asked me if I’d ever been in a marching band. -- source link
