Indigo/Gayle,
As a former assistant director once told me, "In this field we are so
poorly paid that getting drunk is a perk!"
Also, keep posting, it is a valuable addition to this list! Remember, we
all have a delete key and we should not be afraid to use it when we think
necessary.
Thanks again,
Tim

Please respond to
Museum discussion
list
With my tongue so far in my cheek, it's beginning to
look like I have the mumps, I wanted to ask the list a
question based on some rather interesting responses
offered in the last few days. This question revolves
around the coffee v. augmented Crown Royal thread.
Since so many of you have experience with this issue,
I was wondering if working in the museums field will
cause you to drink? I mean all of us who have yet to
make it need to know if we should run to Alcoholics
Anonymous now or wait until we are gainfully employed?
Not wanting to tie up the list with responses to each
one, here are the points I wanted to offer as
follow-up:
o Diet Pepsi--EWWWWWW I am one of four siblings.
Two of us prefer a derivative of The Real Thing, and
two are part of The Pepsi Generation. If I go out to
eat, and all they offer is Diet Pepsi, I will drink
regular Pepsi because, to me, Pepsi's Diet tastes like
metal. But them's fighting words to half of my
family, so you drink what suits you.
o Diet Drinks v. The Sugary Ones - I've vacillated on
this one over time. I'm told aspartame converts in
the body to something close to formaldehyde, and it's
like putting paint thinner in your body. Well, I have
been a Diet Coke drinker so long, I may already have
taken steps to becoming my own curator. You won't
need to mummify my remains, I'm already preserving
myself. For a while, I went to the sugary drinks, but
they wreaked havoc with my teeth AND my hips, so
what's a single girl to do?
o For the Purists on List - I'll let you in on a
little secret I've shared with some of the others. I
had TWO shot bottles that night. One I mixed, and I
tried drinking the second one straight with a chaser.
Arghhh! Tasted like Nyquil! Nuff said.
o For the Nondrinkers - Good for you! Course milk
comes from cows, and they're rather angry in Britain
as I understand it, so you may find some value in
other sources.
o In summary, the French said it best. Chacon a son
gout! Et vive la difference!
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you
for your support and now ask that you send any of your
words of encouragement privately. I appreciate
hearing from you, but I suspect the list may be a
little tired of the thread.
There are some wonderful people on this list who don't
often get recognized for their quality contributions.
Have you thought to also send them a note once in a
while? They are as deserving and more so!
I'm waiting for the day I can show up at the AA
meeting and say Hi! My Name is Gayle/Indigo, and I'm
a Museums Professional.
Your turn: Hi Gayle/Indigo
