June 15th

I was called pushy by an old angry man today. Three busses were arriving at the center for an afternoon show. When the third buss arrived late everyone pointed the guest to the auditorium so they wouldn’t miss the presentation that was just about to start. To get into the building you must first walk passed Volta the bald eagle who draws allot of attention away from yourself. So to keep people moving, I stood right in front of his enclosure merrily encouraging guests to proceed through the glass doors so they wouldn’t miss the show. Every person walked by me smiling saying things like, “hello, what a beautiful bird” and “what a perfect fit for our nations symbol." When a man stopped to take some pictures of Volta I again told the crowed to please proceed to the auditorium for the presentation. Everyone else had made it thought the doors. I needed to shut the doors so I told the man that he would have plenty of time to take pictures of the birds after the show. He walked up to me and looked me in the eyes and siad, “Your so pushy.” I almost laughed in his face because of how unexpected the comment was especially because of how cheery and polite I was being with everyone.
