Have you ever wanted a career in fish?

And then realized you were middle aged, married with kids and expenses and stuck in a cube, and will continue to be stuck in that cube until the age of 65, until you're forced out of that cube and then forced into a job helping people with their shopping carts in and out of a big box store because you will need to pay for your children's eduction?

Why are Cubes beige? To drive me crazy?

But in my dreams and on this board, my official title is:

General Manager of Animal Husbandry and Filtration Systems, ABC Aquarium. I have 2 directors reporting into me. A director of Animal Husbandry and a director of Filtration Systems. Its a good job that pays well and enables me to enjoy fish on a daily basis. I don't mind going in early or staying late, or working on weekends, but i rarely have to since I've implemented such fantastic automated web-enabled systems. And I only hire the best and most talented people. I'm most proud of breeding newly bred saltwater fish, and my giant Amazonian riverbank display.

Ah, and then the alarm goes off, and back to cube city, population me.

yes yes and yes. Except mine is an office and the walls are biege also lol. But I love my job so its not so bad. I hope one day when I retire I can do something with fish. Either spend my days catching them with a rod or selling them from as store.

Keep the flip side in mind also, no marriage, no kids, and looking for a beige cube lol
No chance of keeping something small at work Redear? That was the case where I worked, at least that's what I assumed, so I went stealth. I kept a Betta in a 1 gallon sports bottle (I don't wanna hear it, he was happy in there) and it really made me happier looking forward to giving him his 3 or 4 pellets a day. Just contain your happiness, it's a no no in corporate

I was being a bit cheeky... I know I have it good...

I would never want to set up a tank on my desk then get the boot - do you leave the tank behind as they walk you out?

I was study Ocean and Marine Life in College (We even got our own fish room with both fresh and marine) but then I listened to some counselor and switched my major to computer science...I wish I didn't listen to him! If I can go back to the past I would kick his ass and shut him up!

Those early years at college or university are so important aren't they? So true.
