Bleah!
Phone Nicola last night as I head for the train, night (it was nigh on four'sh having run out of battery again I gave up for the day having listed a fifth of the current archive I'm on, thrown out two wheelie bins of records and reached a stage of general grubiness). I call less because I have to, more because I need to speak to one of the good guys. Highlight of my day was a visit from Jean and Peter who were in the building. Rest of the day was crap, cramped and dirty and I get to repeat it again today - lucky me! The advantage of me doing it is it gets done:
- Strictly by the retention schedules laid out in the code of practice
- It gets it done
- I don't know the organisations concerned so might be flinging valuable stuff without realising it
- I don't know if I'm only listing the organisation I'm dealing with's stuff, I could be listing material belonging to other organisations and flinging their stuff away!
