What Exit?

It's nice knowing an archivist (Nancy) sometimes. If it means that NOT can take care of his last missing state, then it's good. So it's along with Nancy to Trenton to check out what archivists do for fun.

And what do they do? They hang out at the Archives Restaurant and Bar of course (boxes courtesy of the New Jersey State Archives).

But it's not all work in dusty room.  Sometimes they get to go outside into the sunshine and have picnics, even if it is on the lawn of the State Capitol Building.

Ever in search of places to learn, NOT contemplates the school named after the Wizard of Menlo Park. Going to Thomas Edison State College sounds like a bright idea, but it's a long commute for NOT.

Some of those students were getting a bit long in the tooth though. One of them even looked like George Washington and got to speak to the New Jersey "state legislature."

Since NOT did not graduate that day, instead of getting his sheepskin, he settled for the Sheep and Wool Festival.

NOT did find someone his size to pick on - the records management monkey. He even had monkey sized photocopier paper boxes to store those miniature documents in. (Though any good archivist would shoot you for such a poor storage scheme.)
