I swear, the cloud version of PastPerfect always seems to be at its slowest on Friday afternoons. Not sure why. Scheduled maintenance of some sort? #archivistproblems

My boss, when removing items from a magnetic self stick album, with the accompanying sounds of the pages opening, said she hoped whoever came up with these was enjoying their time in hell. #archives #archivistproblems
