FISH

Fish A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results Fish is a story written about a woman named Mary Jane Ramirez whose life was perfectly normal, as she and her husband just moved to Seattle for her husband Dan’s new job. One year after living in Seattle, Dan tragically died of an aneurysm. Mary Jane quickly found work at First Guarantee Financial, where she immediately became respected as an ethical hard working type of supervisor. In contrast, there was a group on the third floor of her building that was famous for the opposite reason. Words like unresponsive, zombie, unpleasant, and wasteland were frequently used to describe this group. Her colleagues actually spent their free time amusing themselves with horror stories from the third floor. Everyone participated, because everyone had a horror story. Every department had contact with them in some way, because they processed most of the transactions. The place was so dead; it sucked the life right out of you. Because of all of the unforeseen expenses of Dan’s death, Mary Jane reluctantly accepted the manager’s promotion on the third floor when offered to her. Working on the third floor immediately got to her. At times, she though to herself that it is hard to believe there was actual living human beings working on this floor. Her new Boss Bill was almost equally unbearable. He had a special name for the third floor. He called it the toxic energy dump, which was quite angering and embarrassing to Mary Jane. She was so upset; she impulsively went on a walk instead of eating lunch, when she realized that although the term was harsh, it was true. Her thoughts were interrupted when she turned down Pike Place and saw a huge crowd of well-dressed people, clustered around one of the fish markets, the world famous Pike Place Fish Market, and everyone was laughing.
