I'm outside on my lunchbreak, eating a sandwich, reading "Japanese for Dummies." A guy walks by.
Guy: Hey, you work in there?
Me: Yeah.
Guy: They have an employee discount? Hey, why's your nametag say x-agent?
Me: I'm an "Xperience Agent."
Guy: Oh. So there a discount?
Me: Yeah, if you work here, they'll let you in for free and stuff.
Guy: Cool. Hey, what you readin? [gets right up in my face to look at the cover]
Me: Japanese for Dummies.
Guy: Oh. What is it, like, jokes?
Me: No, it's Japanese. I'm learning to speak Japanese.
Guy: [starts to walk away] Oh, cool. You goin to Korea sometime soon?
Me: Uh. You never know!
Guy: Ha! Just in case, right! Ha! Take it easy!

I'm dressed in the mascot costume- a giant blue shark. A family approaches. A woman and a little girl run up to me. The woman hands her camera to a man, "Uncle Rick." Uncle Rick tries to take a picture backwards, with the digital screen facing us and the lens facing him. When he tried to push the button with his finger, he seemed utterly dumbfounded as to why there was no button there. "Uncle Rick, it's backwards!" said the little girl. Then Uncle Rick figured it out.

At different times, the employees will take an animal out into a certain area so that guests can look at it up-close. One of these areas is called the "Rainforest," where there are fake trees in which our different parrots can perch. On this occasion, the employee is holding an African Pygmy Hedgehog, and there happens to be a blue and gold Macaw perched in the tree above him.
Woman: [looks at hedgehog, then parrot] After how many years does a hedgehog turn into a bird?
Employee: [shakes head]
