Not smelling like a fish is a bad thing?

Not smelling like a fish is a bad thing?

My wife is constantly annoyed by how long I linger in the seafood department of the grocery store, simply smelling the air. Admittedly, I love the smell of fish, seaweed, and the sea. When I am curing live rock for my tanks in my Merman Cave, it tends to smell like low tide. I love that aroma.

Conversely, I have never found a perfume or cologne that I fancied. Go figure.

Finding ocean creature shaped sprinkles in the baking isle and saying: "Oh look mom, there are turtles, sharks, fish, and... OH MY GOD MERMAIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!" Loud enough that the whole isle can hear you. Then to add to the embarrassment, having you mother take a look and saying: "No, honey. They are just dolphins"

That awkward moment when you're at a costume mandatory Disney/honorary Disney party...you are dressed as syrena but to keep it modest and not prance around with breasts, showing you wear a regular nude bra instead. For your whole life only your boyfriend ever sees you in a bra only. At this party you have guys there. Prince Eric, photographer, treasure island guy, Bert, and another guy lookin at your goods. Your boyfriend/mertender is also there.

The above scenario just happened to me.

As a costumer in general, this happens to me ALL THE TIME. Example that really happened:

Employee: "Hi, can I help you find something?"
Me (holding a leather respirator mask): "I need some sort of tube that is metal, looks metal, or that I can paint that I can use to attach this to a tank. And I need the attachments for it."
Employee: "Uh..." *blank stare*
Me: "Nevermind. I'll keep wandering."

And then when I finally found the tubes and I needed fittings and I was in the plumbing section, I had one fitting but I needed a bolt or something to attach it to the mask, but the employee kept arguing with me about how the things I was looking at weren't supposed to go with the part I was trying to fit. I ran out of ways to tell them I didn't care if it was SUPPOSED to fit, as long as it DID fit.

It's easier just to spend an hour wandering aisles sometimes.

[spottedcatfish]

That awkward moment when you get the job and your future coworkers haven't forgotten about that tail. They're all fathers.

Congrats on getting the job. I hope your co-worker doesn't give you a hard time about the tail. If they do, just be confident. At least you have a hobby you enjoy.
