A Night on the Town?

So I have really enjoyed doing nothing the last few nights in a row, but it's time for some night air.
Went to church on Sunday, then crashed on the couch and didn't get up until dinner time...which was somewhere around 9:00 pm.
Busy the last couple of days. Knocked out another 50 blueprints on Monday despite the 1 hour staff meeting at 9:00. Sad face. My last staff meeting.
Today there were angels helping me in the basement....I mowed through 63 blueprints!!! That's a personal record. The more sorting I do, the more duplicates I find. Today there were 5 different blueprints or copies that I recognized and went looking for the original. I like to do little victory dances when I find matches like that.
The rehousing process is taking up more and more of my time as the blueprints I'm working with are getting more and more deteriorated. If all I had to do was catalog these things, I'd have the project done by now, but by the time I leave, Randi and I have realized the project will only be about half-way finished. Every now and then I'll get one in good shape, but there's always something to consider...size, heat damage, water damage, etc.
Randi introduced me to a couple new kinds of tissue paper to place between each blueprint and linen print before they go into their respective storage folders. This kind of complicates things. Before, I focused mostly on cataloging each document, then making a basic decision about which storage folder and cabinet it should go into based solely on its size. Pretty simple. Now the linens are getting one kind of tissue paper and folder and the blueprints are getting a different kind of tissue paper and folder. And now that we have a wider variety of tissue papers, I also have to consider the extend of damage to the piece, how big it is and what kind of folder it can go into. Hence, there are a lot of combinations of tissue papers, folders, and cabinets to choose from when one wants to rehouse a blueprint or linen. Small or large? Buffered or non-buffered paper? If Non-buffered, thin or thick? Most of the tissue paper is pre-cut in snowy white sheets, but if you want the non buffered and the print is bigger than 60 cm wide, I get to hunt down the huge role and cut a sheet myself. Needless to say, I feel a lot like a butcher with all this tissue paper floating around.
Towards the end of the day, I got to talking with Randi and Caitlin (another intern) about where I'm headed after Spearfish. Both of them have been in museums for awhile, even though Caitlin's focus is in media and she does more advertising than cataloging. After a bit of a chat, Caitlin asked if I wanted to go out with some of her friends tonight for dinner at Lucky's, the local pub. Should be fun. Even if it is my last week in South Dakota, I still have 4 days to meet some new friends.
Also, got in touch with an old friend of mine, Alyssa Lee, who moved out here and got married back when I was in high school. Haven't seen her in awhile, but after some hard core phone tag, it sounds like I'll get to have dinner with her on Friday night before I go to pick up Austin at the airport.
From there, it's rodeo weekend in Mitchell and then homeward bound.
