Did you know that watching
fish is clinically proven to reduce stress, lower your blood pressure, even
stave off Alzheimer's?
Several years ago, I set up one of those
tiny 3-gallon mini-aquariums in my office. For a few weeks, I was in a state of
aquatic bliss. Every time I was faced with a crushing deadline, I would press
my face to the glass (well, acrylic) and watch a small school of tetras swim
by. Instant relaxation!
Unfortunately, I didn't anticipate all of
the challenges of office aquarium maintenance. I won't go into the Incredible
Tale of the Massive Tank Leak and Ill-Situated Electrical Powerstrip Under
Desk.
Since those days, I have found simpler
ways to enjoy fish in my office. There are abundant free screensavers you can
put right on your computer, such as www.dreamaquarium.com
or www.fish-byte.com.
[If you're at work, check to be sure that downloading their free demos is okay
with your technology staff.] Or you can enjoy a home aquarium at work by
visiting this
site, where you can see home fish tank photos and videos from around the
world. I am slightly wounded that my tank presently ranks only #582 out of 1149
similar tanks worldwide - but I'm not
stressing over it!
Happy (fish) daydreams. -- Bob Kim, a
