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! :-)

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

True, but they look the most fun to work for ;-)

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 :-/

Eeeeek.

That's no good at all.

Nope, but I deal. I just spent too many years with my hands in fridges or handling cold meat and fish at the supermarket. Before that I occasionally worked on the ice cream stand at the supermarket, and before that I was almost constantly holding a wet cleaning cloth while working at Burger King.

It's an odd kind of work-related injury, huh? Shame I can't claim compensation! *chuckles*
