Spent a good part of the last two days getting situated at DOT. Meredith and I have been provided with an office, computers, a phone and ID badges. Quite a bit of effort on the part of DOT, DOT Library, and RITA NTL to support us for just one week. It is all very much appreciated.
My project to assemble an access guide for DOT inactive and archived records is coming together reasonably well. I met the RITA Records Manager today and expect to have a meeting with her Wednesday or Thursday. Deena, my supervisor, has scheduled a meeting with the person at NARA in College Park responsible for DOT records. Besides helping to answer questions specific to my project, we will apparently also get a tour the the NARA facilities. Bonus.
Today's get together was a lunch in Chinatown with our fellow students interning at NPR and at Georgetown Law Library, along with their supervisors and sponsors. BTW, NPR has some of the coolest business cards I have ever seen.
Rather bad picture of
the Chinatown Gate.
Went running on the mall after work with Lori Donovan, who has a great story about meeting Sean Connery at the Library of Congress. She may never wash her face again!
Always a welcome sign to return to your hotel
after dinner and find a fire truck and ambulance
outside.
Finished off the evening by watching Obama address Congress, and then listening to about 45min. of "Black Helicopter" traffic flying over and around our hotel after the speech ended. I guess the hotel is centrally located.
That's it for tonight. Need to get some sleep.
