Si hoc legere scis, nimium eruditionis habes

There are some varieties of dull that are to be cherished and some to be avoided at all costs. Dull at the museum means doing the paperwork and dealing with the occasional visitor while one of the castle crows tries to peck his way in through the window. And once the paperwork is done I can get out a notebook and write stories! That's a good sort of dull.
