I did one of these when I left Logan. Now I feel another is necessary. Tomorrow Is the last day of my job at the Aviary. WEIRD. A part of me has waited all summer for this day. And now I sortof dread it. perhaps that is due to the fact that As my job ends so does summer. NOOOO. Anyways.
Things I’ll Miss
Some of the weird people I work with
Dirt cheap Popsicles
Working outside
Having a flexible schedule
Listening to all the crazy Bird people over the radios
….
Alright SO there isn’t much there…. Now
Things I Wont
Our Archaic Credit Card Machines. (we have one slider and one that still uses that carbon paper. no lie.)
Dressing up as the pelican (this might get a whole post some day)
Having both bird shows memorized
Our Phone System from the 70’s
Our really Gross floors
Some of the weird people I work with
Having to think up new fun crafts
Our broken ticket window
Counting Money
Commuting
The nasty water
Being a good customer server when I really just want to tell them how dumb they are
Having to remind myself not to answer my phone and say “Aviary, this is Kelli”
Being yelled at by bird show for being late
Closing
Obviously I’m not that broken up about leaving..



My family is going to be shattered that they never got to see you as the Pelican it was basically their favorite part about this whole summer.
I like to imagine if I did a similar post it would look like this.
Things I Will Miss: The rug people tripped on a lot. Money
Things I Will Not Miss: Everything else.
You had to dress up like a Pelican? Surely this must come with some good stories.
