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! :-)

Ah, gotta love the corporate videos, full of double talk and uplifting motivational slogans. Did they give you morning tea as well?

I think that was the same motivational video that I saw! I saw it about three years ago at a seminar on "customer service" that everyone at my ex-job had to go to. During the discussion afterwards, the woman leading the meeting asked one of my co-workers if she had "fun" at her job, to which the co-worker quickly, and uncomfortably, replied "No" - the reason for the discomfort being that our supervisor was sitting at a table not too far away from us. And then it was just a few months after that when we got our notice that our department was being closed down, so, yeah, that was time well spent. :-/

The fish catching did look fun, but I don't think I could do it either.

They're certainly not the only fish place at the market.. *grins*

Oh god, they made you watch that, too? I have to admit - it did make me seek out and wander around the fishmarket when mike and I were in Seattle.
