Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is looking for someone to spend a month in the museum. Check out the details [here](http://www.msichicago.org/matm/the-details). Bob and I are trying to figure out if they would take us as a couple - I’m good at photography and speaking to groups, he’s good at writing and talking to individuals. But they’d probably worry about what we would be doing in the exhibits after everyone goes home. 😃 ---

Being unemployed any job sounds good but this job sounds AWESOME. Do I have to be from Chicago? ---

A couple of years ago I went to a huge party inside the museum where we could walk around and check out all the exhibits. It was pretty impressive. The coal mine exhibition was a favorite. ---

When I was right out of college, I worked for a year at the Chicago John G. Shedd Aquarium and Oceanarium. It was pretty awesome. With our badges we could also get into all the other museums for free - the MOSI, the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, the Art Institute. _sigh_
