Just finished my 2nd day of work experience :)

It was strange but i loved it! Sorry this is so long :p Some high points over the 2 days:

Day 1!

Very nervous!

Very very nervous!

Got there at 8 and knocked on the door which a really nice guy opened for me and let me in

We introduced ourselves amd he told me his name was S, then he showed me the break room where i put my stuff away

Met K! Shes very nice and i helped cleaned out the puppy room while she did the kittens

Was then sent upstairs to cut up some fruit for the birds and guinea pigs

Fed the quails and budgies, then moved onto the cockatiels and other birds

Two of the alexandrines loved the apple and carrot, while the other two (in a different area) didnt want to eat unless i hand fed them (i slowly moved it to the bowl where they shared a slice of apple and aah!! 💖)

I annoyed the sun conures cause i went to feed them but they were climbing on the door so i couldnt open it properly, so i moved onto the other birds. They screamed at me for a while after that

Gave the guinea pigs some orange and saved a few slices for the two upstairs and are sick/unhappy :(

Washed up the bowl

Restocked the birb toys!! Very cool and made out of thicc sticcs and pinecones

Restocked chicken mince and dog bones

Went to the freezer, didn't find chicken mince, did find yoko, a bearded dragon in a freezer bag with the frozen rabbits/mice. Bag said "Yoko, passed after laying eggs :(" made me very sad

Did see Yoko's enclosure-mate who was sunning on a rock just vibing. Made me less sad

Eventually found chicken mince, but no bones

There was another employee who really scared me

Like a lot

Literally for no reason! He just makes me super super nervous

I think it might be because he looked very vaguely like this guy at school who also scares me (also for no reason, we talked once and he was super nice but he still scares me)

Anyway i did algae wipes on the plant tanks but also was super nervous and when i was done, couldn't see S and didn't wanna annoy the other employees so i just kept redoing them, like 6 times

Eventually found S who got me to clean the fish tank lids

The glass fishtank lids

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Other dude had hoses running that went through where i was so the whole time i was going "dont drop the glass, dont drop the glass, dont drop the glass, do not drop the glass, please please dont drop the glass

Did about 4 lids then it was time to go

All in all a pretty good day maybe a 7/10 :p

Day 2!

Got there just before 8, still nervous

K let me in and we put our stuff away upstairs

Met A!

A was a little sick but also super kind, made me a little less nervous

I cleaned out the kittens room while she did the puppers

One pupper was super loud and attention seeking so i stopped and said hi everytime i passed

Kinda felt bad that i kept asking A questions cause i could tell she was close to losing her voice

Finished up just as the store opened

Vacuumed the store

Felt bad while vacuuming near the birbs and guinea pigs cause they didnt like the vacuum but it was very very dirty so i spent quite a bit of time there

Would do one spot then turn around to see a more feathers and sunflowet seed casings (i have a feeling that the sun conures were still upset)

That took quite a while and there were still more feathers!!!!!!!!

Anyway K asked me to wash the outside of the puppy and kitten windows

That took about 20 minutes (smol kiddos kept touching the cleaned glass >:( ah well :/ )

I asked K if i needed to do anything else and she said to ask D (manager(?)) If he had anything, and if not i could,,,,,,, b r ush the kitten s

Ho ly hecc ye!!

Put the bucket/cloth/water away and asked D, he had nothing

Y E S

KI TTE N S

K gave me a brush and the guy who kinda scares me asked if i knew the code to get into the room, A told me before so i was good

But not for long

It was only 4 digits long and i knew the numbers but then forgot the order

I tried every possible order but nothing worked

I went back to the counter and asked again "the code? oh it's 1234"

Okay! I go back to the door "the code? oh it's 1uwje82k"

F r i c k

As im standing there hoping that this door will magically open for me, cause if i ask 3 times uhh I'll die ?

A and other scary dude were walking past and i tried to make eye contact with A and silently ask for help

But A wasnt looking, however, other dude was!

He came over and opened the door for me and had like a 10 second convo

Anyway he seems super heccin chill and nice but still scares me

Anyway

K i tt ies!

I went into their room and said hi then sat down with the brush

I will be honest, i was expecting some resistance whether it was playful, or frightened of the brush, or wriggly

What i did not expect was to be attacked by a fluffy blanket of pure anger

I named them the Shoe Siblings

There were 6, all with names from me

KL (knee licker), Panic Attack (a poor scared bby with HUGE eyes), Rat (just an asshole), Gentle Giant (big boi ! Thought he was most energetic, but was a good boi!) Mini M (Mini marshmallow, the tiniest bitch! Looks like a toasted marshmallow), and BWB (Black and White Bastard, stupid bitch, annoying, a pain, wishes only to cause pain, i love him) theyre all ragdoll kittens)

Literally no matter WHAT i did, i couldn't brush them

They tried to eat the brush so m an y t i me s

Attacked my fingers

"Please get off my shoe"

Play fighting each other and me

Let me do 1 brush stroke before turning around and chewing on the bristles

I let them smell the brush and my hands so i didn't freak them out

"No, thats not for kitty consumption"

Ate my shoes, ate my ankles, ate my arm, ate my shirt, ate my back

I COULD N O T BRUSH THEM! At all!!

"Leave my shoes alone please"

BWB was the WORST!

He bit onto my shoe grabbed the top and r a k e d his legs across the bottoms again and again and again, trying to tear them to shreds! Scratched the shit put of my arms too

I tried to get Mini M over by gently patting on my leg

THIS BITCH

Swung at my hand and stabbed my finger! I bled a lot, but I was fine

Panic Attack ate the fur that i had managed to brush off

KL and Rat wrapped around my leg in a ball of fury

BWB actually crawled into my lap and curl up into a ball, 'aww,' i think, 'he's giving me a hug! Maybe he feels bad'

Nope

This bitch was eating my pants >:(

Anyway another 30 mins later i was rescued by me being able to leave

(The cats were v cute tho)

And thats it :) thanks!
