Main activity today was to drive over to Milpitas and do some archiving work at the Shustek center. Now that archivist Gretta has moved on, the schedule has changed. Aurora, Gretta’s supervisor, normally managed one group of volunteers at the Yosemite warehouse while Gretta managed another group at Shustek. Now, until a replacement for Gretta can be hired, Aurora has asked the volunteers to come on alternate weeks and only to Shustek. I was off last week, on this week. There wasn’t a lot for me to do. She wanted everyone to work through a refresher course on the use of Mimsy, the database we use to record all artifacts. So I did that, which took a couple of hours. I was reminded of a few things I’d forgotten, and learned a couple of things, plus I discovered something about the database that Aurora hadn’t known. Then I headed for home at 3pm.
Practiced some guitar, had a nice supper with nice neighbors.
