That sounds AMAZING! And I'm a 3-hour drive away too, so I would totally come visit you and the ELEPHANTS.

Oh my! Good luck! This would be the best job ever.

Elephants seem so sweet! I've never met one, so I can't say for sure, but I suspect I'm right.
Good luck!

It's on Tuesday, but I'm going to have to reschedule to Monday. Hopefully they can do that. I haven't been this anxious/nervous for a job interview in a long time.

Now that I'm looking into the cost of moving with all of my cats, I'm starting to get nervous. My car won't make it that far. So I'd have to find a way to get it out there and move my cats, too. I guess maybe I didn't think this through. I can't afford a $1500 rental truck. I mean, if they offer me the position, I'll most likely take it. But planning this out is going to be a bear.

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Ruby Rose · **Posted:** Sun Apr 24, 2011 2:58 pm

Yes - don't talk yourself out of it before you're in it!

There might be a relocation package available, or a loan that they could make you, or a charity donation that they could give you. Or you could do a bake sale with your friends to raise the money for the rental truck... there will be a way to get yourself and the animals to TN if that's where you need to be!

Yeah, don't start thinking about that stuff yet! Look at that $400 2-bedroom house! You'll be able to figure out a way to get there and they might help you think of some ideas. Just focus on the interview for now and think positive thoughts about elephants!

Thanks kids!!

Listen to Ruby Rose, she is wise. Don't talk yourself out of this before you've even interviewed! I'll be thinking of you on Monday and Tuesday, just to cover all the bases.

Maybe one of your Chico friends would want to road-trip with you and the cats...

Go Walrus!!!!!

Yeah, take things one step at a time. Even if you are offered a position, you still make the ultimate decision.
Just relax, have a good time, and be lively during the interview. Once you hear what they have to say, then you can start worrying about the details.

Good luck!

OMG that sounds amazing. And like everyone else said, don't get ahead of yourself. Good luck on the interview, the rest can be sorted out when needed.

PonyPal · **Posted:** Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:10 pm

Money comes and goes. Beg, borrow, credit card it. Haha.

The only thing that would make it even better were if there were giraffes. I'd be jealous if there were giraffes.

I'm pretty sure that I could die happy, if I landed this job! Good luck to you, Walrus! Somehow, I don't believe that you needed to talk yourself up too much as your actions and experience speak for themselves!

Wow awesome! I've been looking at volunteer trips around South East Asia and there are quite a few opportunities to work with elephants, looks so cool.

Elephants are such beautiful, intelligent animals. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, and not just cause I want to see lots of pictures of you snuggling with elephants!
