Russ SharekMany hours of soul-crushing paperwork later, I did a thing that could be considered professional, circus-related, and administrative.
Oh exciting vague-posted tales of a #CircusAdmin. :)
One of the fun parts of being the #CircusAdmin is getting to make decisions which affect not only the technology we use, but important ethical ideas connected those tools.
For example: We're in the process of doing a redesign on our website. Thanks to all of the people who talk about it here, #accessibility has been a part of that discussion.
Keep sharing what's important to you. People are listening, and learning.
In the meantime, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about #hugo #gohugo.
That warm fuzzy feeling you get when the photos from an incredibly large project you worked on a couple of years ago might find their way onto archive.org!
Today's tip from the #CircusAdmin:
Washing costumes and checking on your backups are two tasks that go surprisingly well together.
Today's been the wacky sort of #CircusAdmin day where I talk to equine therapists, plan international travel, and discuss clown stupidity over falafel.
Tonight I'm helping break in (hopefully not) a new stilt walker and teach some clowns.
My lazy day of only doing stuff I enjoy seems to have gotten very full!
Fun parts of being a #CircusAdmin include getting to drool over new performance tools.
Today I unpacked a brand new pair of peg stilts for one of our lead performers. The build quality is the nicest I've ever seen.
So lucky to know passionate makers of quality gear.
I can't wait to get these dialed in for the performer and see her dance.
Ten minutes messing around in other people's contracts and I'm keenly aware of how hard it is to manipulate a word document without a mouse. I find this especially irritating because I'm still technically editing a text document. #CircusAdmin #GripeOfTheDay #PlainText
More twiddling about and generally settling in on the #mutt #experiment today. I actually got some real #CircusAdmin work done today, and it felt efficient.
Love that.
I had to edit on my mailcap file to make it understand that I wanted something specific done with a PDF file. I found this post helpful:

There's a trick in there which shows how to check if you're running a graphical display which seems really useful to know.
That moment your #circusadmin day gets busy enough that you start binding hotkeys in #i3wm to keep your workflow chugging along.
#productivity hack of the moment:

It's the little things. :)
This week has been a significant amount of #circusadmin as opposed to the usual shenanigans.
On the plus side I just legally filed a receipt for a box of kazoos, so I feel like there is some small amount of poetic justice in the world.
