  so i've been working at the museum for about a month now, and not once have i had to talk/interact with museum visitors. it's kinda nice. the only thing though is that they don't have secret underground tunnels to shuttle the employees between the offices and the cafeteria. that would really be the ideal situation. museum visitors are just as obnoxious and annoying as any other kind of visitor/tourist/zealot. they'll get distracted by a piece and just abort walking. i've almost tasted people's hair because of this.
i shouldn't say that i've never had to interact with a visitor because all of that changed today. so i'm walking to go get lunch and this lady walks up to me and gets in my face. her eyes saw my security pass but her brain interpreted it as "information booth on legs". she wanted to know where the bathroom was. i told her i didn't know. she put her stank face on and walked away.
my internal dialogue: "lady, do you not see that i am dressed in professional attire? i'm not wearing orthopedic shoes like all the security guards either, so what gave you the idea that i was going to point you in the direction of relieving yourself? " it was a total stephen-in-the-miami-gas-station moment, except for that i couldn't say "do i look like i work here? " (because i actually do).
