 This morning I slept in until eleven o'clock. Apparently I needed some sleep. There really wasn't time to accomplish anything before lunch so instead I played a few rounds of Black Ops 3. After lunch I eventually got around to starting my reflection paper on the collection development group assignment. It was actually closer to right before dinner but I did start it before dinner.

After dinner I replaced the light on the mailbox that has been burnt out for quite awhile. I originally attempted to change the bulb when it first went out but couldn't figure out how to open up the enclosure. Which sounds kind of ridiculous but I tried several things and nothing worked. It turns out there were two small screws on the underside of the lid that I missed the first time around. Literally the only thing I didn't try. But I did this time and now there is light. I let there be.

When I finished that I continued laundry and I finished my paper. I wanted to play a little Black Ops 3 after that and take advantage of the double XP once again but apparently the servers are down. There is a website that shows the server status and it says all is well, but that is false. I couldn't get into a game and several streams I looked at on Twitch also couldn't get on. So yeah. I played a little bit of the campaign but I'm still stuck in the same spot and I wasn't in the mood. I played a custom game against bots which was fun because I was actually able to kill them. I also had my ass handed to me a few times, because even against bots I'm not great. I eventually managed to get in one game online but afterward I got kicked and couldn't find another game.

On a positive note to the crappy servers, while watching a stream of a guy trying to pass the time, I learned about a new easter egg on Nuketown. Several days ago I learned about the one where you shoot all the heads off the mannequins in under two minutes and they turn into zombies and attack you. Tonight I learned if you shoot all their arms off in under two minutes they start acting like the weeping angels in Doctor Who. When you're looking at them they don't move, but when you're not looking they try and sneak up on you and kill you. It's freaky because they freeze in whatever position they were in when you weren't looking. Super freaky.

This week we only have two days of work before Thanksgiving break. Also, I don't have any reading for school this week, which was a nice surprise. Hopefully I can be productive in other ways. I need to put some work into the final assignment for collection development and I need to work on my website for academic libraries. I need to take advantage of this time off from work.
