Would you ever consider a wall calendar/planner that has the Tumblr Holidays, such as (March 15th Stab Cesar Day) or (It's Gonna Be May) or (Do You Remember The 21st Night Of September)? I know planning out calanders is complicated and it's probably too late already to make them for next year, but it struck me as a fun and usable product :)

I would love to do this. I need a little help crowdsourcing the holidays and such but I think it would be so much fun. I bet we could get them ready for next year.

Boss: oh cool, so you are making a training guide for future staff? That will be helpful

Me: yeah, I’ve had library staff who don’t work directly with archival materials try it out so I just need to finish the cover sheet for the physical copies that accompany other resources

The cover sheet:

I was asked to create a Policy & Procedures Guide for library staff about how to restrict materials in the archives.

I’m an archives professional and I take this seriously

So there's only one channel in this motel,

This morning while I was getting ready I was watching Sesame Street.

They were doing this bit where some clown was trying to wash his hands but kept washing his feet or his elbows and Elmo would go, “no mister noodle, your HANDS!” and all the tv kids would laugh.

Around the fourth or fifth time he couldn’t find his hands, I heard a grown man yell from somewhere else in the motel, “GODDAMMIT, MR. NOODLE.”

In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.

Do you ever become mutuals with someone you share an intense interest with and it becomes this limbo of "I want to be your friend SO fucking bad but I'll eat a shoe before dm-ing first"

I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it. 

It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.
