Today at work went fast. It helped that it was an early release day, so we got out at 1:30 instead of 3:50, but I still think it would have gone fast regardless.

I updated my note card labels with half of the kindergarten reading scores and only need the scores from the other class. I'm still working on the formatting with the addition of these scores but after that I should be able to print out the labels. Unless the principal has something else that needs to be added.

My one random task for today was deleting everything off a few digital cameras from the library. On one of them there were a couple short videos, audio only because the lens cap was on. They were from when I was helping the librarian figure out how to get a video off of the camera earlier in the year. Well, a video off her camera, which is the same type, so we were messing with the school camera to figure things out. The audio on these short clips documents our humorous struggle.

The parent who I worked on the yearbook with brought in the test print today and I am biased, but it looked really good. So much better than it looked on the computer screen. We talked about all the minor errors that no one else will probably notice,which tends to happen every time I make something, but I was afraid to look any closer in case I found something I couldn't ignore.

After work I was going to take my DVR back to the cable company because I couldn't pull up my recorded shows a couple weeks ago. And I thought the summer would be a good time to give up my connection to a DVR. But I decided to check it one more time and it was working. So instead of taking it back, I watched a couple episodes of Psych.

And then I took a nap because naps are nice.

At the theater tonight I finished reading Ender's Game and then watched the trailer because it is on Star Trek. I liked the book. The last big thing was pretty obvious but I don't think it was supposed to be subtle. To the reader at least. But it was a good book. And I am interested to read the other books in the series now. As for the trailer, I'm not sure yet. I think the actor playing Ender looks pretty accurate, and I like Harrison Ford, but I'm not sure about the rest. Other than they went the route of the new Fast & Furious trailer and appear to be showing the entire movie in the trailer. I think I am going to stop watching trailers. There is an art to them, which has evidently been forgotten. Not that condensing a two hour movie into a one minute trailer isn't impressive. Maybe that is how we will consume movies in the future.

At the moment I am currently enjoying yet another midnight private screening, much like I did for Iron Man 3. In that case it was because we didn't seat that theater so instead of turning it off I just went in and watched the movie because I had nothing better to do. Tonight I am watching Star Trek because the theater I am in had been down all day for a sound issue and the tech fixed it tonight. So the head manager wanted me to run it along with the other midnight shows, and check on it to make sure the sound was holding up. Rather than checking on it, I decided to watch the whole thing, because once again I had nothing better to do. And in both cases, I wanted to see the movie.

As for my theater schedule this weekend, I miss the days when managers wouldn't schedule people to close at 2:45am and then come back at 9:50am to work a double. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I'm not sure what I'm going to do to fill my time.
