Welcome to the Hobby
Dear Friends,
The Hard Taco song for June is called, "Billion Lines of Code." We haven't gone completely paperless at work, but the need to preserve physical documents is less each year. In early 2018, I made the decision to do get rid of the oversized and underused file cabinet that came with my office and replace it with this freshwater aquarium.
This action has augmented my social situation in the workplace. Almost daily, a colleague passes my office door, waves, and asks, "How are the fish?" I've learned that if I keep my answer to a single word, the officemate is more likely to ask me again the next day. I value regular interpersonal connections, so I usually just reply, "Great!"
It's not much of a conversation, but before I had the aquarium, nobody ever asked me how my hanging file folders were.
