mizarchivistWell, really- I've not considered myself a Lone Arranger (archivist who arranges without anyone else on staff to confer with) - We've had an assistant archivist for a while, but he (thus far just male minions) has always sort of been off on his own doing other stuff.
As of this new fiscal year, as in - today- we're looking for a part-time associate archivist. This person will cover everything while I'm gone on maternity leave as well as do a lot of processing and whatnot. We hope that we'll find the money and space to make the position full time eventually. This is a really good start. My job will mean any time I can go visit a church or give a class, that's my priority. It's good PR for the organization and potentially lucrative. Turns out people can't give you money if they don't know you're there. Much of my job will probably remain the same since visiting churches is akin to herding cats. You can't control or predict how well that will go.
We're planning on selling my gorgeous rolltop desk (contents of which fits on less than 2 shelves of my book case) and hopefully replace my current computer desk with something that doesn't bow in the middle anymore. It's sad to see it go, but it's a sacrifice we have to make in order to make the space viable for 2 people in there. I've never had to share my room before. I'm not sure how I'll like it. Still, it's not all the time.
Anyway- off to Providence til tomorrow. Leaving early so's as to not miss my train because traffic is stoopid. The snow is pretty.
