"After the novelty wears off"

At first, it was pretty cool when this lizard-dolphin hybrid found a job where his half-aquatic heritage would be a big help! Needing to hold his breath made the job actually interesting, and with his record being over half an hour, he could even rival some of the cetaceans working there!

...But, everything interesting stops being that way, sooner or later. Now, it's just normal; get his wetsuit on, swim to work, get a breath, then get started. It's helping improve his breath holding, at least, but other than being underwater it's basically just a regular office job.
