swordmageSo... 4 working days in, 6 to go.
I should probably update, right? Besides, it'll keep me from my homework...
Montana's pretty. That's about the best I can say about it. Apparently the snow hasn't fully left the ground since Thanksgiving. I've gotten some photos uploaded to Flickr and there will be more, I promise. Including the Sage Grouse from this morning. We've seen a bunch of them, some Pronghorn, and a Bald Eagle. (And normal rabbits and a jackrabbit.) I don't have photos of any of them though, which is a pity.
The work - otherwise known as why I'm here - is interesting. We're here to scan a large number of images related to Custer and the Seventh Cavalry and Little Bighorn and associated stuff. It's pretty much all fascinating, and we've gotten to poke around the collections a little bit as well. (Native American artifacts! Custer clothes! Including some buckskin stuff and uniforms. It's pretty cool, actually.)
But the stuff we've been handling is probably the best. My coworker was working on some of his personal photo albums - one from when he at West Point (completely with annotations) and one mainly of photos of his wife, Libby. One of them had "My Darling" written on the back, which pleased all of us far more than it likely should have.
Today was a very on-off day though. We thought the external hard drives were, well, completely lost to us. Several hours later all was fine and restored and much better. However, it made for a wretched morning wherein I was far more grouchy and pissed off than I should be. It was... less than amusing for likely more people than it should have been.
But, things were recovered and all was right with the world.
And then we got a record number of photos done and things were even better with the universe.
