I Played Zookeeper At Work Today
Posted by Andy on November 8th, 2007
Another grueling day at work for me flushing storm sewers. I am plum pooped tonight and am retiring for the evening here in some much deserved food, and a hot shower. I know, I should be at the Townhall in Coon Rapids, but I would be snoring in the crowd if I did. I have been going non-stop since 7 AM.
Speaking of raccoons, I thought I’d let you know I played zookeeper at work today. I guess we have a raccoon that spends some time in one of our storm sewer runs, and he likes to poop in one particular storm structure. Well, I have had to crawl into each storm drain structure to chip out the concrete slag from the construction this year, and found his bathroom.
I took a stick and a bucket, and scooped up the poop, just like I see the zookeeper types do on Dirty Jobs. Then I blasted the place clean with the firehose. Speaking of dirty jobs, it has been one of them kinda weeks for me, and tomorrow is more of the same.
Anyways. AAA out!
