Aquarium Advice Freak
i have spent most of my past few shifts either computer training, or working the register. oddly enough, during my shift yesterday, i rung somebody up buying the betta exercise ball. gotta love irony.
i am getting a little frustrated with the job. most of the time i am doing things outside of aquatics...and when i am giving advice, it is mostly trying to talk people out of bad decisions. yesterday, i had to tell somebody not to put a blood parrot in a small bowl. i did manage to talk them into a betta.
the problem with this is, i did not apply to run a register, take out trash, and answer phones. i really just wanted to work in the fish department and do something i enjoy. honestly, i could make the same money as a 5 hour shift at the store doing 1 hour of tutoring.
i will stick it out for a while, through the summer, and bring up my concerns with the boss. a major problem with the store is that they have employees that call in sick all the time, so other people have to leave their areas to cover them. they need to hire 3 or 4 dependable people and let everybody do their job.
