update # 21

i was told off today.
a fish died in the tank under my watch and i didn't take it out immediately. the other fish would have eaten it. crisis.
i think i forgot to read the part in the contract i didn't sign that said the fish were my responsibility.

the only reason i clean and feed the fish is that nobody else will (except one lady who used to fee them till i came along - the one who told me off).

the only reason i clean and feed the fish is because mum has had fish for a long time and from helping her out i know what to do.

i really don't like fish - i don't eat them (except fish and chips) and i won't touch them. if they die that becomes someone else's problem. and most people know that.

now i have offended someone else in the work place. it had to happen. i have managed to inadvertently offend someone at almost every place i have worked. i offended someone with out being aware that i had even said anything. maybe i am challenged. but she is leaving soon and so are the fish. brilliant.

so to counteract this bad day, here is some pretty yarn i have bought. one ball will become socks. the other a semi-circular shawl.

this is the shawl ball:

The yarn looks beautiful, I can't wait to see the finished project. Don't worry about the fish. They went to fish heaven. And we can't get on with everyone - we just have to remember that.

Sophie, just received your e-mail re new homepage for your blog.

OUTRAGEOUS about the fish and contract you didn't sign! I am sorry you were told off, especially when you were the one doing something about the fish. That would not be pleasant. Hang in there. xxoo CSB
