museum tourist? month at the museum
Tagged Under : museum
In the last 24 hours, two friends have sent me a link to the same gig. And I have to say, they’re right. It’s made for me. You know how I love museums? Particularly sciencey ones? So much that I have a whole blog feature devoted to them? And I like adventures? And blogging?
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is looking for some adventuresome soul to spend a month living in the museum and blogging about it. And I mean living. One of the requirements is “sleeping in confined or ‘untraditional’ spaces,” and if you know me, you know that sleeping in any space at all has never been a problem. The person would hang out, learn about science, go to outside events, talk to visitors, all that stuff.
There are, of course, reasons why I should not apply. I have stuff to do at home. They want someone super outgoing, and I’m not sure I could be outgoing for a month straight. Also, it’s kind of weird that they frame the $10,000 payment as a prize at the end – if I’m going to live in a freaking museum for a month, I want to be pretty darn confident there’s some money coming my way. But I have to say, it sounds cool.
Here’s the info. Intriguing, isn’t it? Maybe someone I know should apply and tell me all about it. Anyone?

Are you sure this isn’t an elaborate ruse someone has cooked up to get you all excited? Because it does seem suspisciously directed at you. They just threw in the out-going part to throw you off. Or because you seem way more out-going than you feel. Be careful it might be a trick. Of course, I think everything is a trick. That’s why you’re still alive.
Do people still type “oh my god” with periods punctuating each word? Because Oh. My. God. You have to do this!
update please!
Oh yeah, the update! I decided I’d rather do the Christmas Revels than this. And I really don’t think they were looking for someone as low-key as me.
