I just had to sit through a motivational video, all about Pikes Place Fish in Seattle! :-)
The video was your typical offering, and the corporate speak was a little hard to swallow (How exactly do you commit to a 'vision'? How do you 'be' it? I guess I'll never figure that out) but it was so awesome to see Pikes again!
Gotta admit, it's also kinda changed my mind a little about if I ever did move to Seattle; I kinda thought I could look into a job there, since I have experience as a fishmonger, but looking at the way they work? Not sure I could gel into that team the way they'd require. I certainly couldn't catch any fish that got hurled at me! *laughs* Ah well! :-)

And while they do come up with some fun stuff, I personally have to try so hard to stay focused on my boring job, I don't have the time to stop and take part. Even though I'm allowed 'downtime' to do this stuff, the change in routine throws me off my stride.
Hee - yeah, that is the hard part. I can fillet, I can descale...but no. I can't catch anything.

Date: 2007-12-19 09:51 pm (UTC)I don't think I could really go back to the fish markets anyway - all the time I've spent working in cold, damp conditions (read: every job prior to my current one) has left me with achy hands. Sometimes just washing my dishes hurt :-/
