I’m not sure where I read/heard this. It could have been on Facebook, the book I just finished, tv, or somewhere else. I guess it doesn’t matter where this was brought to my attention, but I found it interestingly accurate. Anyway, wherever I came across it, the quote said, “Thursdays are the worst day of the week. You are past the halfway point but not yet to the weekend.” I always say I hate Mondays, and I do, but the logic or illogic that Thursdays are the worst day has some merit. I have a love hate relationship with Thursdays. It’s sort of my Friday because I work from home most Fridays, so Thursdays are my last day in the office for the week. It’s also a teaching day for me, and I enjoy teaching and interacting with my students. However, it’s also just me and my boss in the office (my other coworker works from home on Thursdays), and the more I work with my boss the less I like working with her. There are numerous reasons for this, and I don’t see it getting better.
Anyone know of a museum that’s at a university and needs an educator or someone to manage their public outreach? If you do, let me know. I’m beginning to think I won’t be happy at my current workplace ever again unless we have some staff turnover soon. To tell you how bad it is, I recently applied for a position in the South. Ok, I also applied to that job because it would have doubled or tripled my salary, and it was in Atlanta. If I had to move South again, it would have to be Atlanta or another major city that’s liberal and LGBTQ+ friendly. There aren’t many: Birmingham (but it’s in Alabama), New Orleans, Savannah, or Asheville (NC). Nashville and Memphis are iffy, and Houston and Austin are in Texas. Plus, they are all hot and humid. Yuck! I really like Vermont and New England, and I’d rather stay in this area.
Also, on a completely different note, tonight is the blood moon eclipse (also known as the Blood Worm Moon), a total lunar eclipse when the earth moves between the sun and moon and causes the moon to turn red. I doubt I’ll be awake to watch it since it will take place between 2 am and 3 am, and here in Vermont, it’s probably going to be too cloudy to see much of this rare phenomenon.
Anyway, I’ve rambled enough for today. I hope everyone has a great day, and remember, tomorrow is Friday and the weekend will be even closer.
I almost forgot your Isabella pic of the week:

Joe, if you want a museum associated with a university, there is always the Ashmolean at Oxford and the Fitzwilliam at Cambridge. The Ashmolean is also a UK statutory copyright deposit library.
It's funny you mention these two museums. I was teaching about them the other day. I only wish I could get a job at either one of those very prestigious institutions.
