Today I realized how much independence I have gained in the
zoo over the past couple of weeks. I worked in commissary all day today and she
had me on the meat diets working by myself. Two new volunteers started today in
the commissary and she was showing them around and one of the first things they
did was unpacking the new produce that had just come in. They had no idea where
to go, they were worried how to pack it and I kind of chuckled to myself
realizing that that was probably me for about the first couple of days.
Extremely worried that if I put the lettuce in the wrong way then I would get
in trouble. As I did my meat diets I listened to the countless questions they
asked and wondered. It was really interesting because it does not feel like I
was ever in their situation at all. I know where everything is in the commissary;
I know the order of things, how things work and roll. I can work on my own with
no problem and yet, it only took me about a week to get into this rhythm I am
in, and now that I am finally in it I am about to leave it.
