There Are Worse Jobs

Just a little something I saw on my Twitter (or X, whatever) feed:
“Maintenance Dusting of Michelangelo’s ‘David’. Every two months, Eleonora Pucci, in-house art conservator at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence cleans the 17ft-tall statue of dust and debris using a backpack vacuum and synthetic fibre brush.”
Now even marble statues are getting more SW action than I am

There’s an Egyptian/Greek statue wing of the art museum in my hometown and this legitimately used to be my dream job (still is). So many stone hunks… all I needed was one night alone there, alarms deactivated. But alas

Ah, life isn’t fair
For all we know, miss Eleonora Pucci is “one of us” and is living the dream
But seriously… that statue is 17 feet tall? I never thought.
