Re: Worst job in the company



On a serious note:  This is an example of how archivists and our work is
misunderstood by the public.

However, (on a much less serious note) if everybody knew how much fun we
have at work, either we wouldn't get paid anymore or everybody'd want to
be an archivist!  :)
