Had a meeting at 10 with a couple of people to look at boxes of old “entertainment committee” files in the green room. One box turned out to be all about dramatics, and that got shipped off to the one person who is self-identified as organizing amateur dramatics. The two-drawer file proved to have records about entertainment events going back more than 25 years, including neat bundles of canceled checks for 2002 and other years. I hadn’t brought boxes to dump stuff into. I will come back with some boxes and try to separate out genuine historical stuff and stuff to recycle.
Then the AI interest group met, and we kind of went down a rabbit hole of bitching about the internal website, familiarly known as ResWeb. And coming up with all kinds of things that staff “should” do to take advantage of AI. I put forward a minority opinion, saying how about we talk to the senior staff, find out what THEY are interested in, and offering our time and smarts to do research for that. Not sure if I made a dent.
Spent too much time walking to the hardware store to buy a nut, to fix a loose bolt, in the stand for the electronic keyboard we put on sale yesterday. Also edited 3 more chapters of Cecil’s book.
After supper attended a show by “The Great Thomsonini” an amateur magician. He did some pretty clever tricks, and I could not see how any of them worked.
