weekend open thread – December 30-31, 2023 — Ask a Supervisor


I’m in search of recommendations on how one can re-meet somebody I met by means of their job, in a manner that wouldn’t be creepy or invasive. (I do know, I do know…) I lately went to a vacation occasion at a neighborhood museum. It was an enormous occasion so there have been numerous crowds streaming by means of this curator’s space, however I occurred to undergo at a quiet time with nobody else round. I requested the curator a barely technical query (since their space is one thing I do as a interest) and so they deserted their scripted spiel and began exhibiting me across the space to reply my query. Then they bought actually excited speaking about all of the work they’d been doing on the exhibit lately and the challenges they have been dealing with and what they needed to do subsequent. It was fascinating! However then extra crowds got here in in order that they went again to their place, and once I circled again later they’d left.

I’d like to one way or the other meet this curator once more. If nothing else I need to hear how the following levels of their work go. However, secondly, they felt like possibly a possible pal? It’s uncommon to search out individuals my age who’ve this curiosity and the curator simply appeared so cool. I might say it felt like we had a ~connection if that didn’t make me sound like a person in a midlife disaster spiraling over the barista who remembers his espresso order. I’m attempting to not learn an excessive amount of into what may’ve simply been a pleasant work persona, however they have been reeeally off script and actually enthusiastic, so it felt like not 100% persona no less than. (We’re each ladies, if that helps.)

Anyway! The issue is it wasn’t really a museum and the “curator” function isn’t public dealing with so I’m unsure how one can casually run into this individual once more.

Choices I’ve thought of:
A) go in for a public tour and hope they occur to randomly be on the ground.
B) be part of the group interest group that meets there, which I’ve been that means to do anyway, and hope to randomly run into them (downside: the conferences are on the weekend).
C) attend a category there, which I’ve additionally been eager to do anyway, and hope to, you guessed it, randomly run into them. Professional: lessons are on workdays. Con: I couldn’t do that till spring.
D) chill tf out, depart this individual alone, and benefit from the reminiscence of this one-off dialog. Test again on the museum in six months to see if the work on the exhibit was profitable.

Any recommendation is appreciated!! If nothing else I hope my submit is nice for a chuckle XD
