3:00 snapshot #1004-1008: work related

[urbpan]

Here's the map for a special event at Stone Zoo, where lots of local restaurants set up tables at the zoo and people pay big money to sample them all. Not pictured: TORRENTIAL rain and thunderstorms, and crowds of people willing to brave them all! I tabled the event with AAZK, but put in time as an emergency worker helping to move tables and tents from soaking wet areas.


Afternoon ice cream break. Why yes, that is my local NPR station latte mug.


You know that view out my office window I post as the snapshot a lot? This is looking up at that window.


Daylily up off the public area where only zookeepers and custodians get to enjoy it.


Obligatory horror movie still.

And now for some fun shots from work that aren't official 3:00 snapshots:


This is our corpse flower, Morticia, on the morning she bloomed. (Also the zoo president).


This is the line of people waiting their turn to see Morticia. We allowed people to see the flower for free for two hours before the zoo opened.


On your left as you drive out of the employee parking for the day you will notice the cloaca end of a Tyrannosaurus rex.


It's been hot lately. Squirrel layin' flat on a picnic table hot.

An ice cream break at work: So simple, yet so genius. I see ice cream in work freezers, but it's never occurred to me to have ice cream at work. This must change.

I am totally impressed that there appears to actually be a cloaca there (dark spot). Attention to detail FTW.

There's a seam there, where I guess they stretch the foam skin over the dino mechanism, and it tore during installation. Then they closed it back up mostly but there's still an opening. Pretty amusing for those of us who drive by it every day.

Before they put the barrier and tarp around the bottom there was a secret plan to install a T rex poop on the road.
