Pete's Pond Revisited

In past posts I have raved about the wonders of Pete's Pond (aka Wildcam Africa). This fantastic site is presented by National Geographic. The number of different species that visit the pond is quite diverse. There are frequent visits by impala, kudu, wildebeest, ostriches, elephants and numerous other animals and birds. We have even been lucky enough to view some big cats. Recently a pack of wild dogs was released near the pond and they have been coming every now and then. Their visit today was one of the best. Wild dogs say hello to Fatty, the resident Nile crocodile. The video is a bit long at 10 minutes but well worth it for anyone with an interest in wildlife. Many thanks to the "pondie" who captured this! Enjoy!!!

I'm in the poor house now...

Well, it's official. I'm unemployed as of today. It was so hard to leave. I told my boss today, with total honesty, that it was the best job I'd ever had. Did I bitch and moan and groan on occasion...sure I did. But all in all, still the best ever. Most of the people I worked with were top-notch (some of the others, not so much). Same with the boss. He could drive me absolutely batty sometimes but he always went the extra mile for me because he knew that when I walked in that door every morning that I was there to give 110%.

What now? I'm frantically searching for another job but the job market is not so great right now (to put it mildly). I do have an interview on Monday...WISH ME LUCK!
