Hey All!

Everyone who has commented on this horrible, terrible, ridiculous (pick
one) situation has given very sound advice.

Let me add to Larry Burke's comment about the possibility of getting fired
in such a situation as this and whether or not it will reflect badly on the
next job interview.  Let me remind you that every morning you have to get
up and look yourself in the mirror--your self respect is worth losing your
job over.  You can get another job, regaining your self respect is more
difficult.

I have hired several assistant registrars in my career and I would rather
have someone with a strong sense of advocacy for the collection and the
museum than any amount of experience and education.  I can train a person
in what they need to know but I can't teach them that strong sense of
advocacy.  It's like common sense, if you've got it, you can develop it.
If you don't, oh, well.
