    @sufferlandrian I don't understand how people can do that. When my parents moved to Texas, there was no fenced yard for our dogs. We took 'em out on leashes to do their business and had a fence up within 3 days. A month after that we had a dog door installed. Now they go in and out the house as they please and never leave the yard without a leash. We love our dogs like family and we know they are 'car stupid'. So we keep them safe.

    On another note, I hadn't even been here 10 minutes and we have alarms going off! Ugh!
    Our open house for the public went off without a hitch, though. My parents got to go and they said they got TONS of information and that it seems like everyone here loves what they do with the animals. I can say for the first time in a long while, I am proud of where I work.

    I'm glad the open house went well. :smile: Sorry about the alarms though. Is it like last time where they are going to leave them going all weekend?

    @sufferlandrian No. Jill (nightshift animal tech) wont stand for that. She will call Dr. Abee if she has to, because this is in our long term Chimp area, where our ill or injured animals are being held. So they should be on their way to fix it right now. Those animals need quiet time to rest and recover from surgeries or just in general to deal with their illness. If it is necessary to wait for parts they will either move the animals(unlikely) or temporarily disable the alarm and eat the safety fine that comes with that(more likely).

    I did really good all day and a client backed Raspberry Macadamia nut cookies. They were yummy! I held myself to one but I hope everyone else eats them by tomorrow when I know I'll want more. :smile:

    I changed my food input to hours and track from midnight to midnight. So I changed breakfast, snack, lunch, snack etc... to 4 AM, 8 AM, noon, 4 PM etc....

    I don't wanna be here anymore...I wanna work out and sleep.

    Bright side: My foot patrol tonight got me at over 6,000 steps already! And I can't WAIT to get my lift on when I get home! :sunglasses:

    I'm suffering from severe burnout tonight. The treadmill and the exercise bike don't seem to be helping.

    @lilaclovebird I feel your pain. I've had to reset our fire alarm 3 times tonight. Its starting to piss me off. The fire alarm system was supposedly disabled for several months, so I don't know why it's still alarming at the panel. Maintenance knows it does it, but since it doesn't happen during the day, they don't care.

    Ohhh.. no icecream for me. I was already bad last night and ended up eating 3 senorita breads.. I did log them though - so that's the good thing.

    mmm... ice cream... *drool*

    Two more days of vacation... three more of cold showers in the morning. Upstairs shower still isn't dry, the temperatures dropped too low. I hope it cures properly, three days of my vacation to prepare to re-enamel that shower, and I'll be pissed if it starts peeling on the first use again.

    At least I figured out why the hot water doesn't work in the downstairs shower... damn galvanized pipe. Probably all corroded inside.

    @sufferlandrian, when you hit that burnout state, nothing's going to help, unfortunately. Nothing.
