Why I work with museums. I'll never be rich but they're full of amazing people who truly give a shit about what they do. The WankerCoefficient is very low - 12 years in and the number of tosser clients I've had to deal with can be counted on one hand.
As a consequence of this, we deliver good work - highly focused on client needs, bespoke, and at high quality. We've got a name for it and have never done anything apart from rely on word of mouth for new work.
It's good work and I love it :-)
- ggm 4y agoI did a brief stint fixing some DB issues in the Museum of London (pdp11 v7) and I completely agree. To work in the minutia of the minute books of the guild of glovers in London, over a 400 year period and simultaneously be able to handle asinine requests from the public knowing that ONE in a thousand may serve a purpose, even if only to keep somebody's child alive to history in 20 years time... on a pittance. Same with staff at the V&A. The new management destroyed all the goodwill behind the scenes.
