A'Tuin tureen, an A'Tureen, if you will.

I was looking at 18th century (and surrounding years) tureens, and as soon as I saw this I thought "A'Tureen".

Getting silly little desk things to set up a workspace for my intern is so fun I hope she feels welcome in this unique hellscape we all call home for 35 hours a week

#still can’t believe I’m at a point in my career where I’m getting my own intern #I’m being a little extra because ‘her desk’ is going to be a folding table in the basement #I made sure to get a silly little creature for her desk to bring the chaos of our office down to her in the basement #which is a workspace already she’s not in a crawl space there just aren’t any offices down there #so I want it to be a more intentional work area than just a table and a chair by an outlet #so I got a desk mat #a trash can #I’m making a cute little sign #got her a notebook and a tray to organize desk supplies #and I’m looking for a whiteboard or cork board #I’ve learned from that feng shui guy that putting things on the wall will anchor the area #and help counteract the very anti feng shui setup #museum musings

Saw this when looking at 18th century prints from the British Museum online and knew I had to make this to share it with you.

Me looking in terror at the amount of admin meetings on my calendar for tomorrow: I make less than 40,000 a year in this full time position

#I am an assistant manager #but also the living history coordinator #but also group sales coordinator #and also responsible for hiring and training my direct staff #but I don’t have a manager title for that I only get coordinator #so I don’t get any additional pay even though my position is 4 rolled into one #because we’re a nonprofit that is barely keeping its head above water in an absolutely buckwild period of executive transition #I’m trying to learn more about the financial side of my department so that in a year or so I can argue for a title change #from assistant manager of interpretation AND living history coordinator #to associate director for living history #because listen I might not have a lot of experience yet but I am a fast learner and the number one thing I know #about working for an organization in transition #is that that is the PRIME time to learn how everything works and plan your upward trajectory #especially with the trial by fire I’ve gone through #I’m very confident in this plan #anyway #it’s a nonprofit kinda day #museum musings
