Kaila, Andrea and I [I think Jon was around the corner with our radio] worked in the basement moving quilts to a conservation through the oversized collections. Our work in the conservation room consisted of repackaging clothing, quilts and other textiles for long term storage. We wrapped them in tissue, placed them in plastic sleeves and heat sealed 'em up. Bugs and moisture are simply no good for super old stuff.
[Adorable Dinotrain in the oversized collections. I took mostly pictures in there today even though it really has nothing to do with me....]
Once again, I played registrar even though I'm super ok now! I promise.... So I recorded all of the accession numbers and made notes on their new locations and what they were. Then we figured out there was just enough signal to put on my Ace of Base pandora station and finished pre-break time with a packaging dance party.
Successful.
[I ride this to work. Seriously.]
[I get a strange Indiana Jones vibe from random box #8. No one told me what was in there.]
[This is the room I was stuck in. The large space to the left of my finger is where I needed to be. And below is the creepy freezer that I spent some time with while waiting to be rescued.]
I love this boat. Note the creepy Hearse Carriage in the background.
Kaila and I look good next to plastic wrap, no?
One can always tell when I spend an afternoon entering data. I am simply covered in highlighter by the end. Why can't I close a marker? I have a college degree for Pete's sake! It was a quite enjoyable second half of the day. I entered location codes to the tunes of A-ha, Toto and just a little Phil Collins. And dancing along in my head.
