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

@skinnylatte what's it used for? Can fish get themselves in trouble by swimming too deep or something? I have so many fascinated questions!

19. Apparently, octopus can’t cling to astroturf.

20. Tino the octopus dislikes whitebait. The guy who works with him read a paper that says ‘whitebait is like cucumber to octopus’. Bland and too healthy. He ignores it completely

@tim there are some fish that live way down and when they have to come up, they can also get the bends, like a scuba diver

My kid has seen so many sitcoms and comedy movies that he once asked me "does every adult hate their job?". I'm going to show him this thread. Your sense of joy is really infectious, thank you. -
@skinnylatte I think Tino is my new favorite Mastodon character. Thank you so much for sharing all this joy from work!
-
@skinnylatte I guess I need to start doing these things at my work.

@skinnylatte My oldest works in trade show set-up and take-down out of Sign and Display Local 510 and loves being dispatched to Monterey, because he gets put up in a motel and between the former and the latter can spend his days in the aquarium. He was so impressed by a jellyfish exhibit as a small boy that I made him into one for Halloween, complete with fish in his tentacles.
-
@mtheriaultsf I love that everyone has a great story like this
-
@skinnylatte truly a delight to read, thank you. I've visited Monterey Bay Aquarium a handful of times over the years and I love it a little more each trip. It's very cool that you get to work there!
