Pretty Slow

After a slightly eventful Tuesday, Wednesday seemed somewhat slower in comparison. A very obvious reason for that would probably be that I was being taught how to catalog on the computer. As it turns out, this took longer than I had previously expected. The process for digital cataloging is easy enough though, all it involves is just putting the information that you wrote down previously into Microsoft Outlook. However, this simple lesson was lengthened by some slight problems in inputting into the database. This was namely because a database was not yet made for the artist that I spent time cataloging. This hiccup resulted in spending more time than desired copying and pasting from older databases, but it was done. Eventually, I started work in cataloging on the computer until I was interrupted with another task. Apparently, one of the other archived artists still had some pieces that needed cataloging. The only problem for me was that all of these pieces essentially looked the same and the only way I had of telling them apart were some very brief descriptions of the pieces. Ultimately, Wednesday was tedious, but I’d be nitpicking if I said it was bad.
