snark and productivity

Things that have made me have actual LOL moments at work today, in approximate order

• Cataloging guides and manuals and all the updates to those paper versions, some dating back 25-30 years (and getting to throw them away because they’re ALL ONLINE NOW OK?!) --> filled 2 recycling bins.
• ...Including a copy of AACR2 edition I had in library school (so... old. And not useful)
• The drawers I didn’t know were there because there was framed art in the way
• 3.5″ disks in that set of drawers
• The condom that expired in 2005 in that set of drawers
• Getting a link to my ex-uber-boss’s job description from a friend asking if I want to work across the street from her again. Oh Hell No, Karen.

It’s been a pretty great day of making my space less cluttered. I’m delightfully tired and I’m almost done unframing the set of pictures that had been obscuring the now-empty plastic drawers.  Related? I have a ton of empty frames now that I can theoretically take home with me. Or share with those who need some frames for their art.

I have much art that needs framing. I would even pay you to make this problem be not a problem for me.

I.... could do that, actually.

Yay! The problem is pretty simple - I have a bunch of things lying around what need frames. Someone needs to measure these things and then procure appropriate framing materials (and maybe glass or plastic) and then make the two things come together in aesthetic and appropriate ways.

Go you. Progress!

Nice to be settling in?

[mizarchivist]

It for sure is, even though the future is extra uncertain as a temp.

Wait....wait......wait.....did I parse that correctly? Peggy is leaving? O_O Well, shit son....

[mizarchivist]

Why yes she is. She'd told us last fall that she was retiring so not surprised at all. Just been waiting- that data got swallowed up with everything else happening at the same time.

something about... circus, monkeys
