11/8/18 HAMMER IS SOMETIMES COOL, sometimes offensive, & almost always irritating when the "monitors" stare blankly at you for too long...i assume they get these "security" people or whatever they call them , from UCLA..maybe they get extra credit from their professors to be monitors in the museum..but it is ALWAYS akward being around most of them.. most of whom don't seem to have any actual interest or knowledge in the "art" on the walls..so you can't engage them in conversation .. and many of them are supercillious.. (hey kids, I went to college too ! ( BA/BA/M.Div) ..i know what it's all about.. even though I didn't go to UCLA (although I did do some graduate stuff at the ucla medical center many years ago so I suppose I could say I am a ucla alum, but it doesn't matter.. just be REAL ! , BE HUMAN...nobody is there to steal or damage the "art" on the walls, especially not in the "modern art" galleries.. maybe in the old gallery where there is a van Gogh etc worth money you need to be a tiny bit more serious about your job, but I am sure in the decades of the hammer museum, 99.99999% of the visitors have no malice in mind, including me,..so lighten up, smile a little. Make it a nice day for everybody !
