Day 45-2011

Had to spend my Valentine's Day at an early work meeting.  Luckily I work for a museum so it became an opportunity to look around at a branch I have never been to before.  This is a really really old electric car.

Spent a good chunk of the day developing a new costuming log for work to keep track of who-has-what, and a costumer requests form.  Took forever since I'm a formatting perfectionist.

Got the maintenance guys at work to install a new clothing rail for me at work to make room for all the men's trousers.  A shelf full of books fell in the process and it was pretty funny.

Was sent on an outreach to a Lutheran school today, studying "Colonial Times".  We don't cover the Colonial era at work, but I went anyway and wore the closest-era costume I have- 1815.
