I would like to take another opportunity to thank all of the employees at Accuweather Enterprise Solutions for a great summer experience as a Forecaster Intern. Everyone's hospitality made the big move much easier for me, and made me feel very much a part of the team at AES.
To the meteorologists in ops: I learned quite a bit from each and every one of you this summer, especially when it came to all of your different styles of contouring maps. I also want to thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to issue warnings. I issued my first warning on my birthday (June 7) and that was probably the most unique and coolest present I've ever received. I appreciate everyone's patience with me when things didn't necessarily go right (usually something I did wrong on Canvas from time to time). Lessons were learned from those mistakes and improvements were made over time because of this.
To the morning crew: sorry I wont be around to get SWD done in my usual brisk pace. I do hope the number of severe reports on a daily basis decreases soon for you guys. Overall, I think the thing that I will miss the most is the work atmosphere in ops. Things were accomplished, but at the same time, you guys made work fun. The Guy impersonations, Eddie and Dewvall's movie trivia that I failed 90% of the time, the jokes about my age, the music (I will probably never listen to "Don't Stop Believing" ever again thanks to Becky), and so on made me want to drag myself out of bed every morning and look forward to coming into work, despite the amount sleep I may have missed out on the night before from shenanigans (failed attempts to view auroras and driving to and from North Dakota for 2 days of non-stop chasing come to mind). It all made the entire experience worth it for me personally and I hope to see you all again in the future.
