I made a Dire Mistake in timing and caught my bus just as the local high school got out and dear god did I not need to be stuck in a metal tube with 30+ teenagers today

one of them just yelled ‘rule 34’ and now they’re all giggling. I’m glad some things have stood the test of time.

the first draft of my thesis chapters 1, 2, and 3 are due for peer review next thursday 

this is probably a good time to start writing it.

I’m using a project management program to organize my thesis timeline but I keep marking every single task ‘high priority’ which is confusing the program

What project management program are you using?

Freedcamp- it’s in-browser and free (although I think if you have more than like 5 people on a project or if you want Extra Features you pay, idk), and isn’t exactly what I want but so far is pretty dang good. It’s very visual and you can set big tasks with deadlines and then give them subtask sections as a checklist which I really like.

so remember how there’s a special Sherlock Holmes exhibit on at the museum I work at? well someone in exhibits had the bright idea to promote it by downloading a bunch of the Holmes audiobooks and playing them on a loop in the courtyard in front of the exhibit entrance, to encourage visitors to buy tickets.

they apparently did not check like. the actual content of the stories, likely on the basis that ‘oh they’re Victorian, of course they’re family-friendly’. this is a museum where our primary guests are families with kids under 10.

I walked by the speakers during The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, which was at the delightful passage in which the narrator describes the client opening up a package and discovering a pair of severed ears. this is a parental complaint just waiting to happen.

hey east coast folks, I will be back in the boston/providence area december 19th-28th, if anyone wants to meet up and talk about museums (…or about topics that are not museums, I’m like 80% sure I can still converse on non-museum-related subjects), let me know!
