Honey, What Do You Do For Money?

Alright, so this week.....hmmm what's happened thus far? It has been an interesting week so far. Monday the girl in charge of the section I've been assigned to this month had the day off and one of the tanks started overflowing because the filter was clogged. We radioed the manager and she came to help us out. Luckily we had randomly re-entered that room to do something else just as it started over-flowing. After fixing the water problem we were re-attaching  a part of the water pump system that we had cleaned when all the power for the tank went out and the water almost overflowed again because the pump that takes out extra water wasn't on. The manager came back over and sorted it all out. That was stressful. I also watched the sharks feed and I think I'd rather have a Shayli than a shark over to eat any day. Man!! Are they messy eaters or what?!! Tuesday the big task was cleaning out the storage unit and taking things to the dump or as my mom likes to call it the Dino ;)

Wednesday I went to the beach to help remove the old water in-take. Almost all the water the tanks use comes from the ocean and they got a new in-take so the old one had to be removed. I also helped clean up a mini flood as one of the tanks over-flowed and soaked the carpets. That was exciting!!! Don't sit so close to the edge of your seat, you might fall off and my lawyers have told me if I get another lawsuit from on the edge sitters my quickly growing career in professional blogging is going to be over. Don't worry because that won't happen if I continue to write about fish. I know everyone loves fish and all but.....Later that day we got some cool weedy sea dragons. I guess they're very hard to keep and ours are acting kind of funny so they are putting a sheet of plastic on top of the water to stop them from bobbing at the surface and drying out.


Thursday morning I just went around and did a quick check of all the fish and turned on the lights and one of the areas had flooded overnight. Someone forgot to turn of a small hose and water got everywhere. My team leader doesn't get in til late Thursdays so one of the team leaders from another area came and helped me quickly clean up. After that it was back to the dump. There was a nutrition meeting at the end of the day and in the middle of the meeting there was a call about some of the sharks in my area being dead. Brown banded bamboo sharks, two of them, were dead. They aren't very big sharks. It was a weird thing because all of them had eaten earlier in the day. After looking at their gills and testing the water quality everyone decided that the tank was over-saturated with oxygen and that's what had killed the sharks. Crazy stuff.


Friday was a relatively uneventful day. Did normal feedings, watched sharks eat, helped with water quality testing, changed bad water, and fed some turtles.

EXTRA, EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! The Lazy Leaping Lemur Leo can read the future and predicts that you will click here!! He hope that after you have clicked there, like he saw you would, you will buy anything you like. If anyone ever has anything they'd like me to post on my blogs please let me know. If you like to hoard your money like I do you can click here alternatively.

Continuing on in case you still haven't figured it out, I am THE man.


Oh yeah!! I'm still working on getting a six o'clock shadow but details, details. I think that there should be a law or something that says every time someone gets your gender wrong they should have to pay you a dollar. Not because I hate being called a man everyday, that does not bother me, but because by now I swear I could be a millionaire  I'd be rollin in the confused gender cash baby!!! Though if there was a law about that I'd probably get called 'it' a lot more. As long as I got my million dollars I don't care if I'm Kaiya the shemale from Draper, the land of many winds, and not just because my dad lives there ;) Hehehehe, sorry dad I just couldn't that opportunity slip silently by. That would be a deadly mistake. Hehehehehe :)

Saturday I didn't end up doing a whole lot. I walked around a fair bit. Just seeing what I have around at walking distance, tho technically anything is walking distance, it just might take you days or years to get anywhere. I bought a deodorant spray which I'm not to such about because I've never used anything like that. So if you see me and I have extra arms or another head growing out of my armpit don't be too surprised and please still love me. My host parents went to a wedding so I was on my own tonight and it was kind of nice to be able to do my own thing and have some quiet for a bit :) I've been watching old episodes of Merlin a lot lately because Sunday the new season starts!! Yay Merlin!!!! :D :D I can't wait!!! Lucky for me I get to watch in now and don't have to wait like all you in the states do!! Ha ha!! >:)

Tomorrow I'm also going to that ward here so that should be interesting. It's kinda funny because my host parents have been pushing me to go since last week. I think they want me out of the house and with friends almost more than my mom did. I said almost ;) They want me to go to church so I can meet people and do things. It's slightly amusing. Anyway, that's all the new news with me. Hope yous guys all have a good timey wimey :)

  1. keeping fish alive at that place seems a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. Poor dead sharks. Also, those tanks sure do seem to overflow a lot.... suspicious me thinks. Turns out you were probably more popular at the family gathering tonight than the individual we all gathered together to see. Attention steal-er. ;) Hey have I told you lately that I hate homework? Well I do....swear words are trying mightily to escape from my thoughts into the air. (stupid article searching. Grrrrrr) Hope you had an enjoyable time at the ward, and hopefully you talked to some people that were cool or at least mildly amusing.
