Well that's done, and I'm glad it's over...
I have heretofore mentioned that organisations and individuals can form strong attachments with archivists who deal with their records.
This has led to yr hedjog becoming involved in the affairs of at least 2 organisations that archives of which I have a longstanding connection with.
Which led me to have to attend a meeting today in Stretford, which had a fair amount of preliminary faff of not knowing what exactly the arrangements were, and then, when I had made the arrangements, the distinct possibility that it might actually be cancelled for insufficient numbers to be quorate, but anyway, it went ahead -
So yesterday, off I entrained to Manchester, by Virgin, which has Potemkin wifi that claims to exist and even to be connected, but doesn't actually give any evidence whatsoever of speaking unto the internet, in the anticipation that there would be a meetup for dinner with those few of us who were already there prepared for the morrow -
And blow me, much to my irk, that fell through, leaving me with the thought that Had I But Known this was likely to occur, there might have been some possibility of a Batmoot, chiz chiz.
Somewhat to my surprise, I was actually able to make a few useful contributions to the actual meeting and even come away with Points for Action (which will have to wait until I get back from my hols in the sun of the Med); and at least the whole thing took less time than scheduled, probably a factor of fewer people around the table than is the usual wont.
Also, I fancy, the equivalents of the Orphanage Ladies were not present...
But, anyway, am now Bak Ome, even if shortly to be Off Agen. This entry was originally posted at https://oursin.dreamwidth.org/2991080.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
