Day 2 - V&A

Today was a bit hectic as I had still not got my staff pass for the staff entrance, so I had a few issues as I forgot my managers second name and had no contact for her. Eventually at 10 minutes later they manage to find out who she is and she came to fetch me.
To start the day we went into an all staff meeting with the first ever Q&A for the Director to answer, most were heckles. I had no idea what the questions were referring to but after there were are few presentations on new exhibitions and the development of the V&A building.
After, we went back and began working on book slips and putting the books into the pigeon holes for the visitors, we learned that they could be kept out for 3 days as the books wouldn't need to be handled as often that way.
We then had our break for an hour.
Later, we were trained on putting books back which meant having to use the pressmarks on the side to keep them in their order, the staff slips were kept but the others were disregarded. For me finding the correct space was hard. Then, we began ordering them periodically which I found extreemly easy. 
By the time we had completed that, it was time for us to go home.
So far the day had been simple but we almost always had something to do which I enjoyed.
Theres two photos attatched, one of the new build and the other of the clothes I wore.
