Procrastinators are my favorite if and only if it involves visiting my museums. Yesterday ended the Smithsonian's traveling exhibit on the Montgomery Bus Boycott and so we hundreds of people rush in to see it. 250 on Sat and 288 on Sunday. I wish my numbers were like that every weekend, and I hope that after the Makeover, they will be. On the other side of the isle though, I only had 18 people at the Dossin all weekend. Which is sad and aggravates me. It was the hydroplane races on the River this weekend and so I thought the numbers would be higher than usual. I can write it off as they were just too drunk to walk around since no one knows of the Dossin's existence, can't say that I blame them too much for walking up to an empty, strange looking building. If the marketing guy is going to "get in trouble" for doing something with the Dossin, then maybe it will take a one-person volunteer effort. I live by these water communities, I could do something to help that building. It would be so cool if we could get docks so people could come on the boats, but since we're on the South side of the island and that's the main channel (Belle Isle bridge on North makes it impossible for freighters), it would be tricksey and we'd probably get turned down. Either that or win the lottery and move the entire building to where the old boat club used to be, or buy the last Boblo boat and make that into a museum. So many ideas, so limited the execution.
I have one more week to go in this marathon of work. I'm starting to crack. I go to bed early and get enough sleep, but it is getting so hard to get up in the mornings. And my whole body aches. It's more than just being tired; it's called being exhausted. Seven more days...
Over the weekend, my car turned a month old. I already have upwards of 2000 miles on it. I got the long awaited survey in the mail to which I have to answer "completely satisified" or it's a failing grade to GM. I can do that and I'm glad I made the choice in the dealer I did. Can't fail my GM, it would be blasphemy. So if you need a Chevy, go to Buff Whelan. See Terry. You'll be happy you did.
I get a half day today, but it's not a normal noon dismissal. I have to be at the Dossin around 10 (I'll probably be early) and so I just brought my laptop home with me last night and will start my day there today. So I'll leave that building about 1:30 to make it back and out the main by 2. It kinda sucks, but hey, it's better than staying 'til 4:30. And then I get to put in a full day of museum world tomorrow too. Nothing like working in the same place five days in a row, geesh, how do you people do it? ;)
All I really planned on doing was saying how flippin exhausted I was in this post, but I guess I had more on my mind to write about. Oh well, one more week. Think I can make it?
