[grizldoldfk]

i'm raising three kids on the coast.
i do my best. i worry. i hope for the best.
i also teach "at risk youth".

griz, but if I think you are who you are, I've met your kids and they're pretty darn cool if you ask me. The whole family unit for that matter.

[grizldoldfk]

[grizldoldfk]

Working ten hour days but I'm never caught up!

[intrepid]

Working ten hour days but I'm never caught up!

Exactly. And don't forget. ...only getting paid for 8 hours of work.

Welcome to the real world.

Standard 10-12 hours every day. All year long.

There is no end to my job. Just points where I can stop for the day.

Conferences all weekend this weekend.

You guys think you deserve something different?

I apreciate what you guys do....it's hard work...but still......

There may be an OSP screen on this tab...on two other tabs are my work email, and the inventory system.

My phone rings at all hours of the day and night at any point. Even weekends.

And my "boss" never has anything nice to say.

No spring break. No winter break. No summer break. Just seasons:

Halibut Season
Salmon Season
Chums
Sockeye's
Trolls
Net Kings
Oregon Shrimp
Crab Season
Razor Clam Season
Copper River
It blends from one to the other.
I don't need to know if it is fall or spring, summer, or winter.
All I need to know is what kind of fish is coming in and what is already here.

I'm lucky to get a full weekend away from work. And that only hapens if I leave my laptop behind and my cell phone is dead.

So welcome to the real world my friends.

We are ALL over worked and under paid.

[Ceedog]

Yeah! Time for a revolution!

Twelve hour days aren't bad once you get used to them, just don't plan on having a life.

My work pager pisses me off. It isn't rare for the memory to fill up 2-3 times per shift. People page me for every little thing, and by the time I get a page I am aware of the issue or have already fixed it.

You tell them Wilbur. Those teachers think they got it tough. If it wasnt for people like you the streets would be filled with renegade fish. Breaking windows, spray painting such filth as 'RAINBOW TROUT' on bilboards and freeway blocks. But you keep them real. Thank god for you and your 12 hour/never ending work towards pushing our fish youth to strive for more then inner city crime and skate boarding. Yep...what you do is far more importand and much more of a sacrifice. Fukk the children lets all give it up for fresh fish.

When Wilbur and I went to crescent city, a local Greenling started pushing me around, and it looked like it was gonna get ugly. Then a Kelp Bass and a Perch swam in to check out the action, and it was pretty tense.

Wilbur de-escalated the whole situation, and then took time to talk to the fish and me. We all left with a better understanding and a new way of dealing with our situation and station in life...

I guess what I am saying is, Wilbur was a teacher that day. not all teaching happens in a school, and some of the best lessons require no teacher at all.

And remember when Flats beat up Spongebob? That happened in school, and the "teacher" didn't do a thing to stop it.

[Betty]

You are such a smartbass.

[mavericksman]

So welcome to the real world my friends.

We are ALL over worked and under paid.

cry my a creak doods try and work sellin bling rims to wannabe valley fools when the eekonomy is in the shitter knowin that if you dont make the sail Les aint gonna pay you the cake so then you dont got gas for your jetski and then bombs up on bombs have to go unshredded. peace.

[speelyei]

who could've known the stiffler's would be so fond of the betty? what a topsy turvy world.

[Ceedog]

Someone's in the dogfishhouse???????

Getting locked out of the house while I was working outside, and the only adult in the house decided to take a nap.

before this fish punishment goes any further..

It was April the forty-first
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar
He poured me the usual

Rusty snail, hold the grunion
Shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna
Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail
And she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a . . .
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
‘Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil
This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish
What's your name"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
