teddogSloooow day and I'm sorting photos. That means more random work shots!
Office fish. They're really part of Steve's thing, but I have them trained to think they're piranhas.
WFIC is the reno that never ends. That glass and metal structure is new, though. Apparently, it's part of a new wayfinding system.
The biggest piece of the wayfinding system, located above the escalators in the Great Hall. People seem to have an issue finding those, probably because the old escalator that was easy to see was ripped out.
Studio 2. Not THAT Studio 2. Different Studio 2. I lived in here last Saturday.
Now for the fun adventure on the Centre grounds. We have trails. Trails that noobdy ever uses, but they're there. I went exploring last Friday.
Crappy stairs that aren't to code. Note the lights. I don't know why we have those. Most of the time, the place is closed before sundown.
Old, ripped up signage. This is a common theme in the trails. There's probably not enough traffic flow to give a reason to spend money down here.
The underside of the access bridge. This is what you cross when you first enter the Centre.
This would be under the bridge, standing in front of the Great Hall. More old signage in the back. Reminds me of the old Ontario North Now section of Ontario Place.
These stairs made me laugh. These go from the path down to level D. The paint looks brand new, yet all of the paint like this in the Centre has worn off.
Looking back up. That wood looks rotted.
Yep, more old signage.

Date: 2006-05-18 04:24 pm (UTC)I started training them by feeding them by hand. I would take out a large flake of fish food and dangled it just over the water. Repeat this several times daily over the course of a couple of weeks.
Despite what people will tell you, fish have a memory longer than a few seconds. Our office fish now associate anything dangling around the surface of the tank as food. They've attack people who stick their hands in (like when Tim the live animals guy sticks his hand in to clean the tank), wooden rulers, etc. If you hover your hand over the tank, they gather up at the surface and wait for something to drop. In an unusual twist I haven't figured out, if the fish are hungry, they'll school over to the side of the tank that's nearest to the closest person and stare at them. Usually, that's me.
My original idea was to train them to leap out of the tank on command, first getting the fish to the top of the tank and then out by following the food. Only one has jumped out so far; a lone fish that leaped when Tim was cleaning the tank last weekend.
