  It's been a decade since I worked at Panera but tonight I've put my apron back on. I don't usually bring pie to the family Thanksgiving but this year I'm making chocolate silk pie. Wish me luck, I think I'm in over my head.

  Definitely thought I bought slacks but they're basically sweat pants so I guess this is the stage of the pandemic we're in. I am not saying I won't wear them, I just didn't plan for that.

  Leaving the house at 7am tomorrow when it's supposed to be 8°F and then spending most of the day outside. I am from Southern California so I am preparing with so many layers I'm going to look like the kid from a Christmas Story went to a Carhartt store.

  Someone got me a train conductor's hat and someone else got me a train whistle. So yes, I am also wearing my matching overalls and being really annoying. #ChooChoo

  I feel like we need a Gossip Girl style blog just to figure out all the subtweets. Especially since it's now happening on several sites at once.

  Put this on the list of things "they don't teach in curator school" but should. Also, I might be in over my head on this one.

  Today we turned the nuclear launch keys on a battleship. These keys have been sitting in a box, forgotten, for decades. This was a really cool day. #Museumadon #Museum #Navy #Battleship #Youtuber #history

  We got a donation of ship models that aren't super well labeled and when the intern asked for me help I was able to identify a Porter Class destroyer in her 1944 configuration. For someone who doesn't know ships, apparently I've learned a lot of about ships.

  While filming I managed to absolutely cover my clothes in cosmoline. I didn't even realize it until after. And once I found one spot I found another. Then I was mentioned that the entire backside of my pants was covered. Anyone have tips for getting it out? I started with the dishsoap thats for the ducks post-oil spill, moved to gojo, I think my clothes are just ruined.

  Museum ship curatorial work is a unique beast. In a building, you know when the roof is leaking. On a ship, water can leak into some really hard to get to spaces. We have hundreds of them. This week we are on a quest to confirm that everywhere on board is dry. We got pretty dirty. #museum #ship #navy #curator #youtuber #wwii

  Decided I needed to work on a spreadsheet at 1000 at night. This was a terrible decision.
