Goodbye, sloth.

I am a bit sad to say it, but my nine-year stint at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences has finally ended.  Today was my last day working in the Living Conservatory.  There were a few reasons for leaving, but mostly it just felt like it was time to go.

Though I will not miss cleaning up poop and yelling at kids for grabbing butterflies, I will miss watching the butterflies emerge from their crysallis’ and bringing them into the Conservatory. I’ll miss seeing the fascinated kids who came in and got an up-close encounter with a butterfly.  Most of all, I’ll miss the infamous sloth who gave me my big Technician break.

It’s been great to work at the museum for so long.  If I hadn’t worked there, I certainly not be the same person I am today.  I have learned a great deal and met some of my best friends. So it’s sad to say goodbye, but I’m happy to be done!
