Submitted my promotion portfolio! #thatarchiveslife #academia

Promotion portfolio evidence should be called “Evidence of Badassery” but I don’t think that’s gonna fly here. #thatarchiveslife #archives #academia

The perfect shirt for my workplace. #thatarchiveslife #archivesproblems #lifeisgood

OK OK I will share this bit that sums up how archives conference travel ended: “If I had a nickel for every time I found a bolt in my tire, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.” #archivistproblems #thatarchiveslife

An old man sitting on a bench in front of a giant tree says “no, I don’t think I will.”

Also do I even want to talk about how the last couple of days have been going? #archivistproblems #thatarchiveslife

I attended a digital forensics workshop today. I know I may have learned digital preservation basics 12-15 years ago. The fundamentals are the same. The message has changed: “You don’t HAVE to do it all. What is most important stuff to save?” Amen!! #thatarchiveslife #archivistproblems

Oh great now we have DVD rot to worry about. #digitalpreservation #bitrot #thatarchiveslife #archives

My work in archives is almost exclusively with spreadsheets nowadays. So my microspatula has reinvented itself as a very handy, dandy backscratcher. #ThatArchivesLife

I want to forget the world and just focus on my digital object linking between ArchivesSpace and Digital Commons. So naturally ArchivesSpace decided to be glacially slow. #ThatArchivesLife

I just unconsciously checked a Christmas card envelope for stamps/a date/identifying contextual information before throwing it out #thatArchivesLife

Just sang a song to myself about foxing to the tune of the Hungry Hungry Hippos theme #thatArchivesLife
