One of my favourite things from my new job;

belligerently enforcing break times and end of shift times.

It is brilliant. I love it. I give out warnings [you have 5 minutes before I kick you out] and drag people away from their desks if they haven't had break. I have only had to hover menacingly once.

Everyday I wait until about 1-2 to take my break, stick my head in my second's office and ask if she has taken hers. She always deflates because she hasn't. So we go outside together with Ianto and talk shop.

She has spent the last 10 years working through her lunch and staying late without claiming her hours. It sounds like all 3 of the previous full-time employees did that.

Over the last year or so she realized that it isn't sustainable but she is struggling to make the shift. Thus, shop talk.

She is also very happy that I am enforcing breaks and home times for the contract employees too. She recognizes that her thinking regarding work/life balance is... disordered. She's told me before that she doesn't quite 'get' when people can't work full time and school full time because she did it her whole career. But also recognizes that that is a 'her' problem, not a healthy attitude.

I will drag this museum into a proper, healthy workplace if it kills me.

To magic people it looks like danny is haunted by an extremely possessive spirit

So danny has a problem for some reason whenever he leaves amity someone will stop and stare at him as if they saw a ghost (hehehe) and start walking determinedly towards him

He always loses them but dear ancients is it annoying he just wants to go see museums and observatories why are they following him

Meanwhile the justice league dark members keep spotting some kid whos apparently haunted by a powerful ancient spirit and whenever they try to go talk to the kid he spots them and flees even under invisibility he still runs

It's clear the spirit knows whats happening and is controlling this kid they've got to put a stop to this

Phee speedpaint. Sort of speedpaint. (Maybe take the “speed” out of the paint part—I’m a very, very slow painter.)

Almost certainly a silly question but: is it weird to go to museums alone? I'm in my late 20s living in a big city with real museums for the first time. the only time I've ever been to one is on vacation with family as a teen and when visiting a partner in a europe. I don't really know anyone here yet but I really want to see some dinosaur bones and I'm not sure i want to wait around until I've made a friend to go look at them with.

Is it unusual to see an adult alone at a museum? Should I just go? Is it possible to make friends while looking at dinosaur bones? Is there museum etiquette about this? Is there other non-obvious museum etiquette someone who grew up in the wilds of northern Canada might not know???

Anon, no it is not weird at all.

In fact, you could go and make friends there totally either by talking to docents - the workers in the gallery space - or other guests because guess what, you ALL care about dinosaur bones.

Basic museum etiquette is this, and even these vary depending on where you are

Pay to enter - either buy a ticket or make a donation. if it is by donation and you don't have the funds, go in anyway.

match the volume of the museum - if it's quiet keep your voice to a conversational level, if its loud be loud if you want to.

DO NOT TOUCH unless it explicitly says you can touch, then go hog wild.

Do not get into conspiracy arguments even for fun with the staff - we have heard it all.

have fun.

AND THATS IT. Depending on the museum they may even have social meet-up events for young people or classes or lectures that you could attend with meet-and-greets afterwards for social interaction.

If its dinos I can guess at the museum/province. They'll love your enthusiasm even if it is quiet.

Got a membership at the Royal Academy of Art this year and in an effort to use it more I've been working there at the members' cafe – I'll never be over this architecture in this courtyard on the way in
