woulda been, coulda been worse than you could ever know
the dashboard melted but we still have the radio.
i actually have to go back to new college today. it's been quite awhile since i've been there not picking up or dropping off steven. i'm going for the helen fagin library dedication. info. the entire concept of a special section for holocaust studies at new college is thrilling to me, especially because i know personally that new college severely lacked the resources i needed for my thesis. this will be an excellent opportunity for future holocaust studies at new college, and for that, i am thankful.
i contributed to its establishment in my own little ways, like hosting the group of holocaust ISP students at the museum this friday (which i'm nervous about), a $20 donation (all i could afford), and helping the museum make the donation they did to the collection (the books from the liquidated (bad word, i know) sarasota holocaust education center i used to volunteer at.
i just don't want to go to the dedication. yeah, i'm not "officially" working, and sure as hell am not going to help out at all, but i still have to be "on." i'm going in multiple capacities, have to be presentable for so many reasons: being a representative of the museum, being an alum, helen fagin thinking i owe her all my success (she thinks she got me my job at the museum, and tells this to everyone, including harvey and all of my colleagues at the museum), and in general, being a member of the holocaust/genocide studies community.
i want to work on my puzzle. it's looking pretty good so far, considering it's massive and will take me a few more months unless i devote my entire vacation to finishing it.
vacation is the best word in the english language. counting today as a work day, only six more workdays to go before i get a break. i get to be "off."
i worked my ass off last week, going in early and staying late to get artifacts ready for the core exhibit refresh, and still failed to get them completed. i started to wonder if i wasn't fooling myself, wondering if working so hard on it would ever amount to anything. so i asked erin about that promise she made me about registrar. she acted like she'd completely forgotten about it, but said she'd talk to carolyn. she said i wouldn't get a raise, which i knew and is fine, but that my personality (=perfectionist) and historical knowledge are perfect for the job, and that further collections knowledge would only come with time.
we'll see. she probably forgot about it already. monday i get to look forward to encapsulating all day. last friday i condition-reported 25 shoes from majdanek. exciting, huh?
okay, five more minutes of puzzle then off to get ready for dedication. i dunwanna go though.
