Life in the fish tank update:
I have made friends with a new fish. Well, he's not a new fish, he's been there for a while, but he and I newly became friends. He is large and gray with yellow fins all around the edges. He is the only fish who doesn't swim away and hide when I walk over to the tank. And when I drop in some food, he looks at it and his yellow fins stand up like he's surprised or excited. Yesterday I watched him and his fellow fish eating for a few minutes and then I walked back to my desk. I turned back and he had stopped eating and was just gazing at me. I feel we've bonded somehow.
In other fish news, a sick clownfish was taken away to the "clinic". I don't know what that means but the Fish Man promised me he'd be o.k. "Then will you bring him back? Will I ever see him again?" I asked. The Fish Man considered the question for a moment and then replied, "um... no."
