My most interesting job was when I worked as a conservator. My specialism was documents and books, so I got to mess about with medieval Court Rolls, Victorian adventurer's diaries, records from the slave trade in the West Indies, etc. We also had an archaeology dept, who sometimes called for 'all hands on deck', so I got to do things like carry Egyptian mummies up the road to the vets (for x-rays! our machine wasn't big enough) clean the teeth of a woolly mammoth and model Anglo Saxon jewellery
