We've started a new job at G,F&S, and we're at that bit when we're getting to know someone else's data. It's a bit like enjoying going to house viewings and poking in cupboards.
We're joking around the table about 'oh, why can't they be more organised?' and 'why is it all so messy?' without really acknowledging that everything is miscellaneous (thanks David Weinberger). And then you find a list like this and it's charming and very specific and human and you keep moving.
