What I did today

I started my Triops aquarium. What's that you ask? What is a triop and where might someone get one?

The answers to these questions are here and here.

So I've got the aquarium started. My little guys should be hatching sometime tomorrow if everything goes aright.

I found these guys when looking for places to buy sea monkeys. You see, I needed sea monkeys for work. My job in itself doesn't require them, but to quote Office Space: "It's not that I'm lazy, I just don't care."

I've been wearing flip-flops to work for three months now, and no one has said a thing (I work in a factory). I'm referring to most of my coworkers and superiors by clown names (Chuckles, Mr. Wiggles, Rumsfeld, etc.). Sea monkeys on my desk seemed like the next logical step. They've actually become quite a hit around the office. One of the engineering managers (we'll call him Josh) happened upon them the other day:

Josh:     What are these?
Kwazy:     Monkium Seastaia. You might know them as sea monkeys.
Josh:     What are they?
Kwazy:     Essentially brine shrimp.
Josh:     Why do you have them?
Kwazy: For protection.
Josh:     What? Are they dangerous?
Kwazy:     Only when provoked. If I were you, I wouldn't come in this cubicle wearing that shirt.
Josh:     I don't think they belong in an office.
Kwazy:     Come on! They've actually been a big hit. You see that one there swimming around looking busy without getting anything really accomplished?
Josh:     Yes...
Kwazy:     We named him Josh.
Josh:     That's not funny.
Kwazy:     I'm kidding! Actually, we named them all Josh.
Josh:     Whatever. I've got a meeting.
Kwazy:     Wait...Josh, what are you doing for lunch?
Josh:     Nothing, why? You want to go to Applebees?
Kwazy:     No, not you. I was talking to the sea monkey.

Somehow, I haven't been fired yet.

But alas, I digress. I will post updates on the triops as soon as there are any. Hehe..."Further details as events warrant."
