I was talking to the manager of our lfs about the state of his tanks and the poor conditions of his fish. I was nice about it and didn't slag him off, just mentioned it.....as you do. He asked if I knew much about fish and pets. I told him that I was a moderator on this forum, which he is gladly advertising for me and if I didn't know about a particular subject I had the resources in yourselves to get an answer. We had a good old chin-wag and I believe he was impressed at my knowledge concerning fishes and small pets. It was almost as though it was an interview but not...if you know what I mean. Finally as I was about toleave the shop, he told me there was a job in the shop for me if I wanted it...even if it was a Saturday only job. I thanked him and said I was flattered and would consider it...I never close the preverbal doors behind me by refusing anything. You never know I just may need the job one day. PLUS the guy was not offended by a point blank NO.
I left him feeling that he was still the boss, and I believe that's the way it should be. I just went away feeling really proud of myself and of you lot.
