This is Indigo, a particularly playful, common octopus that entertains and teaches people at the small Shark Lab aquarium/research facility at The Point, Mossel Bay. #indigo #octopus #sharklab #thepoint #mosselbay #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican (at The Shark Lab)

(Start rant) Why the fuck would you pay $850 a month and work in less than ideal conditions purely because you want to get with a guy? Every guy here has some kind of girl in his life, and when you fuck with that it fucks with our work. To be fair, I drunkenly hooked up with one of them, but we stopped before it went past making out and we've both gotten over it and can work together just fine. But there are girls here (on a pretty deserted island) who are talking about waxing their vaginas "just in case" and who follow the guys around like little puppy dogs. I hate working with them more than anything. They don't understand that our day isn't over until our tasks are done, and that if they choose to flirt instead of work other volunteers like myself have to step up to finish the job. I love shark lab, but damn, this is too much. Quit flirting. Quit wasting the day sunbathing (which just pushes our dinner and end time later). And quit bitching about not having a good experience. You get out what you put into your time here. The worst is I've suddenly been alienated because of that drunken hook up. Now everyone else is trying to get with him and they just stare at me when I walk by. We have to work together. I don't want to trust you with my safety and well-being, but I have to. I don't get to pick my team for the day. I'm assigned a job and a team, regardless of personal drama. I guess I'm excited for these two weeks to go by at this point. Life here has just gotten out of hand. (End rant)
