I'm still loving my job. It's been a bit slower than in the first week, and I'm finally getting a grasp on the different surgery setups and where everything is. I've never seen half of these instruments, and there's so many power tools and hoses and plates and screws, sometimes it feels more like a hardware store. I get to do fun things with the power tools, like when we do TPLOs I get to take the makita drill and plunge a pin straight into a dog's knee. THe surgeon I work for is so fun... today he totally stood up for me to the management, it was so funny. We were about to go into surgery again, and we hadn't had lunch. We found out lunch was being provided upstairs for the hospital, so my coworkers asked me to go up and get everyone food really quick and bring it downstairs. I went up and the hosp director was there, and when I told her what I was doing she was like "noooooo you're not!" Which is the SECOND time this has happened because the EXACT same thing happened like 2 weeks ago. I went back down empty handed and pissed, as were the rest of my coworkers. My doc was like "just go up and get the food, I'm telling you to, so it's ok" and then he went upstairs with me, and the two of us loaded up a bunch of plates, and the director didn't say a thing hehehehe...
I sign the lease on an awesome house tomorrow. It's huge. I still have a ton of packing to do, but I have the next 5 days to get it all done and moved.

It's really far less romantic. Breeding season usually starts in January. Our geckos are all housed individually in rack systems so each girl will get a 12 hour conjugal visit with her male. There's about 4 females to every male. They do breed on their own when housed in colonies but we have to keep careful track of the genetics so everyone gets their own house. Each female will usually lay 2 eggs per clutch, 1 cluch every 15-20 days for the 4-5 month breeding season. But, the eggs have to incubate for 10-12 weeks. This concludes your lesson in leopard gecko breeding.
Hope U-haul moving went well!
