well, i did it. i got a job...not only that, but a job in a museum. the great thing about the museum that i landed this job with: it's a small museum still slowly and carefully growing meaning i actually have the opportunity to make a big difference here. it's exciting, actually, to see all of the potential for this place and to know that my experience has put me in the position to actually help encourage some of that potential!

thursdays are the hardest days only because the museum is open for seven straight hours and i'm the only one guaranteed to be there all seven...the rest of the day is up for grabs, the curator, director, cleaning lady, archivist, interns, etc, all coming and going at random times. last week i closed by myself and it was a bit spooky turning down the lights in the galleries when it was already dark outside...but tonight i feel safer, especially knowing that my friend will be waiting outside for me when i'm done locking up.

tonight is project runway and then a late showing of Shutter Island...not bad for a thursday, plus everyone seems to be going out of town this weekend so i'll have plenty of time to catch up on sleep when i'm not working.
