Day 9: 27 January 2011

Green Team Meeting and Shoe Break


I am fortunate enough to have a supervisor that is a member of the "green team" and very invested in keeping our museum on the eco friendly track. I got to sit in on a meeting today with the team and discuss its progress, new ideas and a little contest between the departments to help motivate all museum staff to help keep the GR Public Museum a more earth friendly place.


The main topics were simple, small scale projects like switching the lightbulbs on the carousel to LED or halogen bulbs [though there are something like 25,000 bulbs at $20 a pop] or getting multiple recycling bins for the Cafe. We also discussed things like a green roof and a rain water collection system. All in all, there is so much to do but so much is already being done. I think that is just as important. 




SO, back at the CARC building.... One day a week is shoe day and today was the day. I only got through one cart of shoes but I think thats pretty good for two and a half hours. 

This drum has nothing to do with me except that it was in my workspace and totally amazing. There wasn't anyone around to ask about it so all I can tell you is that its very old and probably Civil War related [as everyone is preparing for a Civil War exhibit...]. So cool.


This was my favorite pair of shoes from today. Navy leather win tips. Let me get some. 


I loved these too. So funny. The shoes say "Genuine Shenanigan Alligator" in them. What? But they are alligator, thus I have a soft spot in my heart for them.


Side note: Eames chairs for days in this building. Gotta love it. Happy Thursday. See you next week!
