Cool It is not all fun and games

On my last post I showed your where I worked. Now I would like to share with you some of the problems associated with my work place.

Dorthy Deer is always bringing her kids so she can save money on child care. They are always under foot.

Trying to hide

Fred and Wilma Moose are always dropping in for tea and there is no saying no to these two if they want to come in.

The most annoying one of all is the office gossip, Sally Sue Squirrel, is constantly chattering about something interrupting any work you planned on doing.

So as you can see while it might look like a great place to work, it is not all fun and games. Or maybe it is!

Love that squirrel. DOF works brilliantly for it.
My daughter hand feeds chipmunks in her local park, so I'm hoping to get a shot something like this of a chipmunk when I see her next month.

There's always the office characters who hang around and make things difficult...not to mention the office politics! I read in your previous post that you are in wildlife enforcement. I'm sure it's not all fun and games. I'll bet you see some brutality and some of the more unsavory characters carry big guns....and I don't mean camera lenses!

Thanks everyone for veiwing and your comments. I have to admit I love this job I have been doing for 31 years now. Yes, Mike there are some unsavory characters, but the vast majority of people contacted share my love of nature, even it they do make mistakes.
