You know you were a Pelican if … You always want to organize a luggage line when helping people move stuff. You know which scars on your body are from your time on island. You proudly announce “Half Way!” when you complete a task. You’ve ever envied a job that left you covered with grease, poop, diesel, rotting food waste, or all of the above. You cannot think of Saturday as anything other than ‘changeover day’. You called iced tea “brown”. You’ve ever tried to help evacuate a store/shopping center/dorm/etc when the fire alarm went off. You still recite the names of all the islands of Shoals to make sure you never forget. Something called the “Old Boiler Room” sounds like a reasonable place to hang out. You can trace the important moments of your life by your crew and not by year in which they happened. Share this:EmailFacebookTwitterPrint
