I will be writing a follow-up in the near future to address some of what I say below. Click here. For the original with comments. A long while ago I decided to apply for a trainer position with SeaWorld, and lo! Oh, the curse of principles. 1 Wild Capture - Captive breeding cannot sustain t...

The Level of Decompression. Eating Out: The Prague Edition. A page from my journal:. Last night's pizza dinner reinforced what seems to be the trend in restaurants here. Here's how it goes. 1 You sit down. Do you speak English? You say. ". Says the waiter. This might be short for ". Which means "yes" in Czech.or it might be the only English word he knows. 3 Waiter immediately wants your order; what do you want?

Fifteen Feet: Sea World
http://levelofdecompression.blogspot.com/2007/06/the-ethics-of-working-for-seaworld.html
The Level of Decompression. Or "The Ethics of Working for SeaWorld". A long while ago I decided to apply for a trainer position with SeaWorld, and lo! Oh, the curse of principles.

Fifteen Feet: Because Students Should Stay in Libraries Where They Belong
http://levelofdecompression.blogspot.com/2013/06/because-students-should-stay-in.html
The Level of Decompression. Because Students Should Stay in Libraries Where They Belong. A Yankee in Oxford. Gets nothing but scoff. She sits on a wall. They tell her, "Get off.". She calls to the birds. They think her a fool. While she thinks the English. I swear I just got scolded by Professor McGonagall. Ten seconds on the wall, and she swooped down from nowhere like the Guardian Spirit of Conformity. So I had to write a poem to vent. I don't. Think you're all dull, my English friends.
