Notice from my boss: she's pleased with my student evaluation reviews. The dean of the department at the university is pleased with them. I am awarded another FISH. But wait: there are times when a FISH is not a fish.
Franklin U.: "Mr. Lopate! The students are doing so well!"
Me: "Great! How about a raise?"
Franklin U.: "We can't do that; we're a non-profit. But we appreciate you. We're giving you a FISH!"
Franklin U.: "No, a FISH."
Me: "That's what I said."
Franklin U.: "No, a FISH. Not a fish."
Me: "A FISH is not a fish?"
Franklin U.: "It goes into your performance portfolio.
And you get an online certificate: Franklin is So Happy. FISH."
Me: "A FISH that's in my portfolio—but no raise. And no fish?"
Franklin U.: "Correct."
I dunno--maybe next time someone asks me for money, I'll tell them I can't spare anything, but I do have a FISH I could share.
That reminds me: there's a fish password in the comments: https://tccwrite.blogspot.com/search/label/comments
