What do you listen to while you work?

Most archivists I know are lone arrangers or work on small teams. Assuming that you do listen to something, music, podcasts, videos, what specifically is keeping you entertained? What’s your podcast of the moment?

Who can I pick as my reference?

I’ve applied for a new job and Hr sent an email to tell me that I am their finalist (not *a* finalist, so I don’t know if it’s basically a given assuming all else comes back well, or not. But I digress). naturally, they want my references, one needs to be a current or recent supervisor…I’ve worked at the same place, under the same supervisor for almost 10 years. I have a boss who I’ve thought of asking, but I don’t know if that’s a “supervisor” like they’re hoping for, as they don’t directly supervise me. Also, I have a former employee that I’m still friends with who I’ve thought of asking for my second reference, but I don’t know if subordinates as references are frowned upon.

thoughts on this? I enjoy my current job and I don’t want to make waves if this might fall through. I currently work for a smaller org so everyone would know very quickly if, for instance, I were to ask my direct supervisor, just because of the way things work here.

First time painting an animal - please enjoy the laugh!

I’ve been doing watercolors for two weeks - no prior art experience, can’t draw…obviously. It’s awful, but I hope it makes you laugh!

Procession of irises

Brand new to art in general and watercolor in particular (this is my…third? Try). I’ve watched YouTube videos, gotten a book from the library…I do not necessarily find this intuitive, but I enjoy it. And I don’t know/understand any of the terminology.

Irises are a flower that have a lot of meaning for me, so they’re what I’ve been “studying.”

any advice on achieving depth? You can see on both attempts I end up with a splotch on the bottom petal trying to capture how it kind of folds down and under. In general I find that when I try to do a ”wash” with a darker color for depth it just ends up looking splotchy.

also, while I’m able to get purple, it’s not really the shade of the flower. Maybe I need more red? and I think I’m afraid of starting too dark and having no where else to go, but obviously the color and shade are not correct or as deep.

I’m not totally displeased - I can see there have been some improvements. I really wanted to try ink and watercolor, but immediately realized that the fountain pen I got was not water proof 🙄

the third photo is my first attempt using a cheap kit I got, but I found the color of the paints really lackluster and hard to work with (when I opened the kit before my latest attempt all the paints had fallen out of their pans and crumbled). The first photo is the latest I did with cold pressed paper and Windsor and newton paint, which seemed to help matters.
