Sorry about lack of posting lately. Haven't had much I felt up to, you know, even saying anything about, that I could actually talk about in public.
Have been cleaning house some-- will post pictures soonish.
MEANWHILE, AT THE PIRANHA STORE:
We have been tasked with a special job of continuously observing the piranha tanks in case one of them spontaneously breaks and floods the place with water and pissed-off piranha. Since I cannot sit in a chair and watch the tanks while doing my own job of stocking piranhas, helping customers, putting up signs in the windows, etc. I have been provided with an employee who does nothing but sit in a chair facing the piranha tanks and watch them.
Intently.
Said employee is too busy watching the tanks, with both eyeballs, to spare one for learning to stock the piranhas, or put up signs, or really do much of anything. Naturally, this annoys me because every other employee who does this tank-security thing manages to at least sweep around their seat, you know? And not so much with this one. Just can't seem to concentrate.
But. Apparently my prayers have been answered, if by "prayers" I mean "near-constant annoyed seething." The tank-watching job is being outsourced soon, so the person will lose their cushy "sit in a chair and wait for something to break" position. And maybe I'll get some effing help.
Right?
Maybe. That's right.
