Tomorrow I have an interview for an internal post I’m 98% sure I’m the only applicant for, so because of that and because it’s so near the end of term my brain is NOT letting me do any preparation for it, which is super irritating.

My lap is full of paperwork but I cannot read it.

Today the Department of Awesomely Good Deeds salutes John Wells, an alternative energy and sustainability researcher located in the desert area of Terlingua in SW Texas. John set out a bucket of water with a GoPro in the bottom in order to see what sorts of animals would stop by for a drink.

Because sometimes what you need most is to watch a variety of thirsty animals getting a refreshing drink from the perspective of the water they’re all drinking.

“Everybody loves water in the desert. I was pleasantly surprised during the edit to see that George made an appearance. I know him from all the other rabbits because of the tiny notch in his ear. A burro just happened to come by in time to be included. Ben went against the script and decided to just nudge the bucket. You can lead a steer to water but you can’t make him drink. Note: The swimming bees were rescued.”
