This week's work, and the next:

nathistconservatorThis week was slow going. I've mostly been e-mailing people: I still need to find whoever knows anything about the collection journal, or find out if they exist at all. I've yet to put up my climate monitors, a task which is ostensibly late for me to do (though not disastrously so), and I've still my task of 'establish rapport with my supervisor'.
However, I did get my thoughts together to book a meeting with him, and I've managed to book several other meetings afterward, which is great news! So, hopefully I'll be able to work more consistently now that I've kickstarted that collaboration.
Next week will surely be more e-mails, but I have gotten some good texts to read. And I've a sort of "homework" for the next couple supervisor meetings, which will hopefully encourage me to keep my momentum.
For now I'm hoping to hear from the meteorite expert, whom last had anything to do with the collection in 2015. I hope he hasn't forgotten where or who is responsible for those loaned specimens in the past decade...
I'll be taking pictures of the collection space tomorrow when I finally set up my climate monitors, but they likely won't be great. Firstly, the collection space is a mess, and secondly, I'm not taking documentation-grade photos, and I'm using an old camera for it. But the photos will be there, and I will be sure to share them.
