As I could go on forever about things workers in a children museum do not like. I will keep the list to the top ten. I have been working at one for over 3 years and I do love my job, but it can be a bit crazy at times!

1. Please do not come in expecting to do the whole museum in less than thirty minutes.

It just is not possible!

2. When we say the gift shop is closed, it is actually closed!

We don't mind waiting an extra five minutes. However, we do need to cash-out the register and do not want to be there all night, especially if you do not even want anything!

3. When we say "Do not run" we really mean DO NOT RUN!

It is a safety hazard and almost all accident at the museum are due to kids running!

4. The difference between a supervisor and employee are the number of years they have been working there!

We all know the same information and can all help you!

5. WE ARE NOT BABYSITTERS!

Please do not leave your kids unattended for us to watch!

6. You do have to wear shoes.

(but let's face it ... if I did not have to wear shoes I wouldn't either!)

7. There are more underlining rules than we actually say there are!

8. Please do not leave trash around!!

9. When it says staff only ... it means staff only!

Please do not touch the exhibits!

10. At the end of the day we are all humans to, we make mistakes and some of us are teenagers and you are right we do not know everything.

However, we do know how to do our jobs and are actually pretty damn good at it!

All of us at children museums love our jobs. We enjoy going there and we enjoy meeting new people and having customers that know us and come in all the time! We are amazing staff and we will always greet you with a smile and will do whatever it takes to make sure your visit is good! However, since we are only human we will find some things that people do that will at the end of the work day bother us! But, overall working at a museum is great and we love every person and child that comes into it! We love seeing them learn about science and be happy!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
