Work gets Juicy

Unfortunately, this isn't the good kind of juicy.

*********Viewer Discretion is Advised**********

1T has had a job as an assistant taxidermist this school year.  He has really enjoyed using his art skills while learning a new skill.  He also really loves the paycheck.

His job description includes skinning newly obtained wildlife,

                                                                          


Helping mount them,




Posing for silly pictures,



Making school mascots,


And cleaning and shipping.

1T's employer has been working on a traveling exhibit that will be going to museums in Japan.  Most of the animals they get for these displays are either put down by the fish and game department, or are given to them after the animals die of natural causes.  In the next week, a production crew is coming to film at 1T's workplace. They are putting together a documentary on the region in which we live. It is very exciting to 1T as well as his employer.

This has been a great moulding and stretching experience for 1T.
