Starting a new thread to document the delightful things I am finding out about joining the tech team at Monterey Bay Aquarium.

43. I had lunch with the ‘Director of Puns’ today. She looked forward to working closely with me. I said I hope it all goes swimmingly

45. Saw someone write ‘oysters are an embodiment of queerness’ and I truly feel like I’ve found my people

46. I’ve been fascinated by ‘whale fall’ since I first learned about it here.
Here’s an incredible video of a whale fall exploration dive in the deep sea just off Monterey Bay.

47. I talked to real people about animal poop 5 different times today (I counted). Different animals too
-
48. I found the internal form for ‘booking an animal encounter’. My coworker said ‘usually it’s for team building or bringing your family on behind the scenes visits BUT if you want to hang out with the octopus or otters on your lunch break by yourself, I don’t see why not?’
-
49. She then said when she went to hang out with the octopus she got octopus hickies all over her arms and they didn’t go away for a long time.

@skinnylatte It’s so much fun reading your posts about how much fun you are having in your new job!
-
@econoprof thank you! It’s giving me life and joy

50. Today I got stopped in the hallways. Someone I didn’t really know said, ‘hey are you the one who posted the pic of the Townsend’s warbler? I saw the same bird but didn’t have my camera so thanks for taking the cool pic’ (when I worked at a database company, all they talked about was emacs vs vim)
We then agreed to go on a lunch bird walk

@skinnylatte Ok, this sounds like a dream job. I am so happy for you!! (Also, do I get to call you a friend, or are you just "someone I know on the internet"?)

@artcollisions friend! Also happy to do a online video or audio chat if you’re ever up for that!

51. Apparently they will pay for us to get Spanish lessons, so my taco dreams are going to be bumped up to the next level. Did I also mention I met a guy who has a database of 90 taco truck rankings in Monterey, Salinas, Watsonville, all the way up to Santa Cruz
I’m emailing him to have lunch (at a taco truck)

52. People were asking me if I got a bluetiful sweatshirt and I thought they were all mispronouncing beautiful, but there really is an employee sweatshirt called BLUEtiful. It’s blue.

@skinnylatte You have the best job in the world.

@noondlyt it really feels like it!
