Starting a new thread to document the delightful things I am finding out about joining the tech team at Monterey Bay Aquarium.
-
@skinnylatte this one made me feel so many feelings. I like tech and have fun with it and all but omg I crave being around people with more interesting interests so bad.
-
@zkat I feel like I need a balance that I found increasingly harder to find in more conventional tech. Just avoiding assholes felt like a job
-
@skinnylatte all your coworkers sound like such joyful, delightful people living their best fishy lives
-
@zkat I want a life like that but I can cruise for a long time from the warm fuzzies that someone out there does have that life.
Happier for you every day @skinnylatte may you never have to worry about an unsolicited tech discussion
-
@randomgeek @zkat I’m fine with tech discussions but I demand that there be a good answer to why we are having these discussions. Mostly I want computers with people not just computers. I’m sad it took me 15 years of working to realize this but there’s no going away from that now

55. I just read an obituary for a stingray and it made me cry
-
@skinnylatte omfg i love this so much for you
-
@ted it is pretty great
-
@skinnylatte Look, I’m not really a bad person but I might be a bit jealous of your new job 🥹
-
56. I posted a question in Q&A ‘Will a science-y person tell me the name of this fish?’ (It was long spine combfish, and a director of animal operations personally responded)
Now people are saying they should change their job titles to ‘science-y person’
-
@farah heheh

57. I just saw a video of a penguin and an otter getting eye drops

@skinnylatte when Stripeydottir was very, very small, my Darling and I took her to the #aquarium here in #boston, several days in a row, during my lunch break from work, so always at the same time.
'dottir was just big enough to be toddling a bit, and was fascinated by the octopus. Towards the end of the week, it seemed as though maybe there was a hint of mutual admiration there.
