What happened?

Sometimes I look at what I've done with my life and despair. I went to Oxford University and yet I've managed to steer myself into a position where I alphabetise for a living. It's so humiliating.

If it makes you feel any better I basically have an MA in alphabetising...

Damn!

*Makes note to do that *hug* thing more in future. It's what I meant, but I just went off on one instead. *Sigh.*

Ally! I've spent months trying to persuade people that archives do NOT involve alphabetising. It's glorified filing. Now really.

*hugs the Squeen* You are most brilliant. Do not fret.

*more hugging of the Squeen*

It's definately more involved than alphabetising it sometimes involves alpha-numeric reference numbers or wow is me dewey...*g*

I love the Dewey Decimal System.

It was fun at uni when I needed to find books and occasionally did, but archives... *hugs the Nell*

The alpha-numeric stuff is so much more advanced, yus.

I know... I just love the sheer...apparant randomness of it.

And 16 digit numbers are always a great laugh.

Whereas I have a pretend MA (on account of it being Scottish), not in alphabetising but I seem to be doing a lot of that in this job anyway.
