Okay.
There are quite a few different kinds of individual.
Here are two of them:
-The individual who is a good all-rounder. Doesn't do anything badly XcD Should be out-lawed some say >.>
-The individual who gets something wrong, knows it, doesn't know what to do about it, so pushes off finiding a solution due to a combination of varied factors (denial, shame, lazyness, procrastinating tendancies...) When confronted with this state of affairs, they sometimes get funny ideas like 'Marking Idiot in bold indelible Letters on one's forehead'. Luckily, they don't put them to application.

Sad to say, I'm not of the first kind >.>

So as a result, I'm actually working on some essays that should have been done months ago 6_6;; (Btw: Supra Dupa Thanks to Pat and Max for helping me climb out of the panic/dun'twanna/can'tdothis/frustration I'd been stalling on)
And~ That is how I came to be at the old Town Hall's Archives Today.
It was interesting.
For one of the Essays I've decided to work on one of the Town's buildings, so I went to the building in question to ask who built it and when, and they sent me there. Apparently, they didn't know... Which I can't fault them for, I don't know who built the flats I'm living in either >.>;
What I glimpsed of the Old Town hall was very cosy looking, Academic yet warmish/luxurious like. Nice sturdy wood railing and so on. Went to the third floor and met two Archivists who helped me out. Very helpful young women.
^^; Since it was my first time at an archive, I'd thought it would have been scarier... Or stuffier at least 6_6; but no, all went very well, and windows on the Third Floor do say it all about dust. None. ^^

Whoever invented them foam book holders was a very clever person indeed. 6_6 Bye bye broken binds...

And Ironically, we didn't find much 6_6llb despite the tons of documents.
The construction dates we did pick up were confusing, and we only found out the possible name of the Architect thanks to the building opening Photos...
And some documents weren't there. Apparently they're being looked at in view of having the building in question demolished...
If you really have to know, it's one of these lots of glass, concrete and metal rod, squarish boxy kind of buildings. Modernist. Not really that pretty...
That's why I chose it 6.6 it answered brief requirements.
Still doesn't explain some stuff: could be bad indexing, sloppy record-taker, or cover-up >.> Who knows.

And soo that's my random post for today.
Pretty pointless, boring, and well, yes, random, but I felt like posting it anyway.
Tata~
