Set your watch; it's Friday afternoon, somewhere



Y'all could strip off the subject lines and still tell it's Friday
afternoon...in fact, one could set a watch by the list's craziness... like a
full moon every Friday afternoon.


I envision a doctoral student tapping the archives of this list for a
dissertation on cybernetic archival psychology.

Anomalies such as:

the time a couple years ago everyone compared notes on local temperatures and
falling weather

discussions on the best remedies for chapped hands from handling dried out
paper

what to use to wash gloves

why archivists need to keep tetanus shots up to date (watch those rusted
straight pins!)

the difference between cataloguing a finding aid and cataloguing a collection
(y'all check Henson's APPM 1.0B.1)

using purple folders to visually identify the most recent accessions (didn't
we veto this unanimously?  If so, someone tell Tom B's boss...)

Etc.
