May. 13th, 2011 09:16 amPosting today to show off my tiny pirate header thing sent to me by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bitchy_brat. Thanks babes.
I've spent the past week putting up the pirate exhibition - with a LOT of help. At one point there was the curator, a conservator and 2 custodians milling around so I went and did some paperwork while they did their thing and the other custodian and I finished it off yesterday.
There's a big difference between trying to work with a manager and working with an equal. A manager will say "Where do you want this? Are you sure you want it there? Wouldn't it look better here? I think it looks better here." Because they are a manager they can't HELP but manage and get very antsy if they are contradicted. With my equal I squabble gently, fall about laughing, we each concede defeat if the other makes sense and the job gets done no more slowly but with good humour instead of tense edgy angstiness. That's a pity but, sadly, the way the cookie crumbles with personalities.
Anyhow!!! I have pictures which I will upload and post once I've taken mum shopping. Also handling cutlasses and cats of nine tails and stuff means my pirates are back in my mind and I amusedcelticangel76 last night by writing very mild pirate smut and emailing it to her a sentence at a time to see her through a boring meeting. Which reminds me - I left them in mid-grapple. Someone's bound to have cramp by now.
