New employee orientation at Monterey Bay Aquarium

I love this pic I took of the avocet this morning. I went to the aviary this morning before we opened and I had the whole place to myself

@chris_hayes indeed I am!

[genxjamerican@hachyderm.io]

@skinnylatte It’s definitely striking a pose for your camera

Baby birb (snowy plover)

I like to take the scenic route to my office (past the kelp forest)

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

The back deck when there’s no one there is really cool

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

I don’t know if you know how big this tank is

@skinnylatte

Oh, are you at the Vancouver Aquarium?

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@northernlights Monterey. I work there

[schrotthaufen@mastodon.social]

@skinnylatte If I wasn’t too blind to safely go diving, I’d want to jump in there

[bobmonsour@indieweb.social]

@skinnylatte Massive! We were there a few months ago. What an extraordinary place!

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@schrotthaufen they do have diver volunteers who clean tanks and feed fish and a program to teach scientific diving to kids here

[normandunbar@mastodon.scot]

@skinnylatte @northernlights I have been there! (October 201.) Wonderful place. Not every aquarium has room for Sun Fish!

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@NormanDunbar @northernlights we don’t have a sun fish anymore but we have a sun fish costume

@skinnylatte Tank is big.

For a couple years when I was itty bitty my life's ambition was to be the scuba guy in there. Still a daydream of mine...

The round blob in the top center is a southern sea otter frolicking by herself

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@humanadverb there’s a dive volunteer program to clean the tanks, but the line is long

[eniatitova@sfba.social]

@skinnylatte my former law firm hosted its annual attorney retreat in Monterey every couple of years (we rotated between there, Tahoe, and Napa). we would always have a private Friday night dinner at the Aquarium. Standing by that tank, mildly buzzed, when it’s not crowded was magical.

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@eniatitova hehe, I sit near the people who plan these events for companies. They started doing yoga by the open sea exhibit too

Lunch with a view
