Starting a new thread to document the delightful things I am finding out about joining the tech team at Monterey Bay Aquarium.
-
@skinnylatte Are you also responsible for public relations in this regard? Just curious given I keep hearing about your place on the DougDoug channel (and of course about your former best otter mom Rosa).
-
@Natanox no I am not
I work solely on the technology there. the dougdoug partnership has been ongoing for a long time -
32. I attended a standup meeting among the otter people. It was otterly awesome

@skinnylatte Otter than awesome standups, how are you enjoying your new job?
-
33. I walked by a poster. ‘There’s no aluminum in this cage. It’s not nickel either. It is a nickel less cage.’ (Photo of the actor)
-
34. I’ve been added to a queer group. ‘The aqueerium’
-
@skinnylatte You can never leave this job. Ever. Those are the rules now.
-
@lemay I’ve met so many people here 10, 20, 36.. years omg
-
35. I asked someone what a conference room was called. They said (seabird name). Unprompted, she grumbled: totally inaccurate. The room only has photos of pelicans. It’s not right. It’s the wrong bird. No attention to details.
-
@skinnylatte are you going to be physically in the Monterey area because if so then we're going to be neighbors and we'll probably bump into each other at one of the aquarium-social-sphere parties
-
@douglasvb I’m here half the week! Happy to do something

@skinnylatte Fun thread. I'm glad you're enjoying the work. That brightened my day. Love the marine puns. That really tipped the scales. I hope your eel tank says "That's a moray!"
Curious: Have you or your coworkers tried the anime Aquatope On White Sand? It's about working at an aquarium. No spoilers, but it's a really touching show, and an interesting look behind the scenes.

@WearsHats haven’t seen the anime, so thanks for the rec!

36. Upon entering a room we were overwhelmed by an intense lavender aromatherapy.
Coworker: what’s with this spa treatment?
Very queer person: gurl it’s either lavender or Dead Fish smells(Thousands of anchovies are washed up on the beaches here this season. Maybe hundreds of thousands. It is impossible to keep your windows open)
Personally I am used to it coz it just smells like ikan bilis
-
@skinnylatte What does working day-to-day there look like? Does sound like a pretty great job situation!
-
@rooneel pretty great so far. Lots of people working. There 10, 20 even 35 years and still apparently very into it
-
37. I got an invite to go watch some employees play guitar in front of the sea nettles so I’m putting on my shoes to go there (we are closed for an all hands, all fins event)
