Haha! We get the exact opposite thing! People actually get mad that we aren’t the science museum

People don’t read, Pt. 48.

An Anonymous Person Who Works At A Science Museum Submitted: 

Every once in a while, a guest parks in our parking lot, where there are many science museum banners, because we are a science museum and those exact words are part of our name. That’s one of the first clues that you’re at the science museum: all the things that say ”Science Museum.” 

But some guests must miss those signs, because they will walk past the entrance sign (which also notes that this is, in fact, a science museum.) And then they walk into the lobby full of other science museum signage. After that, they’ll approaches us at the desk where we sit behind a display of science museum maps and membership brochures wearing science museum shirts. Often, they read the tv screen above us to see how much it costs to go to the science museum. And upon request, they will receive tickets and receipts bearing the science museum logo. 

And then they walk into the science museum. 

And they come right back out. 

And say, “I thought this was the Children’s Museum!”

It’s next door. Where the sign says Children’s Museum.

You know you've spent the last few years reading too much Anthropological theory when... your apartment management shuts off the water and afterwards you spend 20 minutes in front of your toilet flushing it so the tank isn't full of brown water. Halfway through you think to yourself, "This is a Mary Douglass sort of situation, innit?" And you keep on flushing.

Just joined the American Anthropological Association and submitted a paper to the 2013 meeting. I'm trying not to get too excited, but how amazing would it be if my paper got accepted!

OMG. If only my hands were steadier, my nails would so look like this!

Ancient Greek black figure pottery-inspired nails, featuring Theseus facing the Minotaur on one hand, and Oedipus pondering the riddle of the Sphinx on the other. Matte finish for an extra pottery-ish look!
