Ever since I have met Paul at work he has had water issues. First off he had a rather large plant next to his desk that he brought in from home and it looked really lovely for about a week. After about 3 months it was basically a dried
arrangement. Then one day it
disappeared and was replaced by an imitation
climbing plant that looked quite chirpy for a year or so. Just before our branch moved I saw that plant totally bowed down to the dust and spider webs and scraps of paper and a few platstic leaves scattered on the floor. I noted that he had
ditched it in the move. However, the fish tank in this picture did have a live fish in it during all that time and that came to our new
accommodation too. It only lasted 1 week in the new
position. So Paul had the tank filled just with stones and the one plastic plant and I decided that
every time I went to Darwin I would buy him something for his "
Airquarium", which I also labeled so people would know what it was. Please note the fish, which is also a candle, so
Paul can light the fish if he feels the need when he is having a bad hair day. After 9 months I added the
croc which took over a week for him to notice, even with me coaching him by asking him had he seen any
crocs lately. Some times I asked him twice a day.
That's when he gave me my nickname "Crikey". From then on I called his team the croc spotters team. Then in March this year I added the Platypus and that took about 3 days of me and his team talking about
platapie till he twigged.
