Slow Progress

[cjsmith]

Last night's glumness slowly wore off. That's good. Eating some frosted cookies probably helped.

Today I picked up some groceries, including fresh milk. Had needed that. Also cleaned up the kitchen some.

So I'm mostly human. :)

Photo progress is slow, but still noticeable.
1. Absolutely all my photos are chronologized. Like that word? I made it up.
2. Unique roll IDs have been assigned to everything except Paris (Jun-Dec 89) and Officer Basic Course (Sep 90 - Feb 91). Those are well-separated and can be dealt with independently.
3. All negatives through 2000 are in archival sleeves labeled with the roll ID.
4. Every single print up to August 2000 is labeled on the back, with the roll ID and negative number. That labeling is going slowly right now for two reasons: one, I am labeling duplicates to give away; two, I started adding event names, dates, and people's names to the back of each print. The latter takes waaaaay tooooo muuuuuch tiiiiime. I may drop it and go back to ID/no.

OK, back to work...

I'm glad you're feeling better!

CJ, this is a serious organizational task you've undertaken here. I couldn't even begin to organize my photos in such a manner. My inner Martha Stewart admires you. (Maybe Martha isn't the example I should use anymore....but you get the idea, yes?)

I wonder who should be the icon of compulsive tidiness and organization now that the mighty Martha has fallen?

Thanks! I'm pretty darned glad too :-)

I think I didn't know how big a task the photos would be until I was hip deep in it. I knew what had to be done, but had no idea how long it would all take. I've now finished year 2000, woohoo!

I don't know who the new icon of compulsive tidiness and organization should be but he should definitely be gay.
