August 8
As my last week starts, I find myself incredibly antsy and wanting to just go home already... but nope, I have one last week to get through. Luckily, the actual "work" time is not that much this week, I don't think, what with events and meetings and leaving procedures. Surely, there will be lots of paperwork to fill out.
This morning, we had our big tour of the Library's dome. We walked out on two different levels of the dome and I snapped photos in every which way just to take advantage of the height. It was pretty neat. I've attached some of the photos I took...
This is a look down at the Library's Madison building, where I work. Just to give you an indication as to how high we were, that building has six floors.
The Capitol from our vantage point:
And beyond the Capitol, over the mall (that grassy area in the middle), to the Washington Monument, with the Lincoln Memorial barely visible behind that. All those buildings along the mall are the various Smithsonian buildings.
Beyond that, I processed CDs in the morning and was very excited to get the Black Eyed Peas "Elephunk" CD. I listened to that all morning. In the afternoon, I actually decided to start in on one last record label that isn't copyright complying... Dischord Records. So, hopefully, I will be able to finish that before the week ends. There's no reason why I shouldn't.
A couple of the interns in the Prints & Photographs division invited me for coffee in the afternoon so that was nice. I really like them. One of them, Audra, is deciding between UNC and SU for library school. I think I made her decision for her - and I feel slightly guilty that I didn't recruit someone to SU. Just as the day ended, we found out that we were going to have to present our "treasures" to Dr. Billington tomorrow. Apparently, this is like the only day this month that he will be here to see us so that was why we got the last minute notification. So, yeah, that will be fun.
