So my work has started taking in a whole bunch of old used art books, and I get to organize it. I get to spend my day going through old books, writing down their info, typing it up, and then organizing and cross-referencing to my hearts content. I suppose I'm a nerd, but YAY!

The British reaction to WWI and WWII fascinates me, especially in the books of the time.

Just a quick update. First, I still need one more person to work on saturday from noon to five, it'll be fifty bucks and you won't have to do much. Second, as some of you may have heard, yes I do have a car now. I could even drive it if a) I had insurance, and b) it weren't presently at the mechanics. Point b) will be dealt with by tomorrow, but ( Read more... )

For the next two-three weeks, I will be working as administrative assistant to the deputy director of the Beacon Cultural Foundation. It's part time, five days a week (noon - 5pm) and if I do well they will hire me on a more permanent basis. If I do ( Read more... )
