That really surprises me - I've never had a problem
since I was there
Maybe Tony and I have fundamentally "bad attitudes" or something. Even
though Tony and I are by no means clones, compared to your average guy
off the street we are probably indistinguishable :-).
In this case "bad attitude" == knows the technical side of all the things
we want the museum to be doing, but does not know the right language/
people to talk to.
Heh, possibly... I think a lot of the time museums spend too much time
trying to attract people who can do a bit of everything - which is all
well and good, but sometimes you just need people who are focused on one
particular aspect of the daily running, and recognising how valuable
they are can easily get overlooked.
