A Day at the Zoo

We left Illinois two months ago I can't believe how the time flies. We had to pick the hottest summer in the past 200 years to come out here. I actually had the weekend off and spent most of it cleaning the apartment. I did learn something new this week: the difference between tap dancing and clogging is that in clogging there are double taps on the shoes and the movement is more into the ground versus a more hopping motion in tap dancing.

Well the main portion of this blog is going to be dedicated to the thought that's been haunting me all week. I believe all managers would learn a lot about how to handle their employees by working at a zoo for a year. I will now post a few of the reasons I came up with, please feel free to add any reasons you can think of.

Positive reinforcement - reward the right behavior not the wrong.

If your animal is full of shit one day you're going to step in it so learn to avoid it.

Animals are happiest when their bellies are full so keep snacks handy.

Never turn your back on your animals because they might just bite you in the ass.
