Taking Charge

I have been having dreams about jobs lately. Knowing full well that I can’t work. It’s kind of sucky, but I’ve been dreaming of becoming a chef or cook in a restaurant. Really? Why? I think it started when I saw an advertisement for a cook’s position here locally. However, my dream was that I [...]

So, I was handing a crapton of documents the other night. Why? Because the person who gave them to me wanted to be rid of them and he thought they were of historical value. I looked at this bag and nearly cried. Lets be honest. It’s made me wonder about document imaging and wondering if [...]

Last night was a ton of fun and today was an absolutely beautiful day. I spent it at a parade and small festival in a neighboring town. I was the representative for the paper again and had a successful day! There was so many who stopped by who didn’t know of the paper, who had [...]

Good gravy it’s nearly 1:30am and by the time this posts, it will be after 1:30am. I’m tired, but I’m not. I have to be up at 7am. I have to be out the door by 8:15am. I have the car loaded, thankfully, so I don’t have much to do in the morning. I need [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my job as historian and what I’m going to need to do. Part of me wants to take all our old newspapers and such. I want to figure out some sort of document imaging system so that things can be easily accessed by everyone.I will be working [...]

I’ve learned recently that there’s a lot more to my job as Historian than I ever realized. I can understand having to have a good document management system to file and organize papers and know where everything is. I did not realize, however, that I’d be required to report to the state historian as well [...]

I’ve been looking at office supplies lately, trying to figure out what supplies I need to work in my vault. I keep ogling some cool self inking stamps that I’d like to have with my contact information on them for items I need as the historian.I’d buy one out of my own money, because it’s [...]

There are days when I feel like I need to go into business for myself. What would I do? No idea. It’s tempting though. Then I go to look at things like a receipt printer or cash box and shake my head. The cost of basic supplies is ridiculous. It’s a wonder anyone can stay [...]

..to decorate our home.. Don’t ask, it’s a random lyric. It suits my random mood. I keep thinking about things that I could/should be doing with my life. I was thinking about a business, a small one. I’d like to have a thrift store. I like the Salvation Army store, but the local one is [...]

Okay, I know you can do anything on the Internet these days, but come on. Applying for jobs online? Seriously? If you’re applying for a tele-commuting job, sure. But really, is it that hard to go apply for jobs in person? I do not understand what people are thinking. Has anyone really ever gotten hired [...]
