In my tired state last night I
forgot to mention that last night was Chipotle night. All new people
were working so I didn't end up with enough food in my bowl for two
meals, just enough for me to kind of regret eating all of it.
Following dinner I showed YouTube videos and then the pictures I took
in Orlando. Then a couple hours were spent starting the setup
process for my mom's new phone. It didn't go perfectly smoothly so
the process was not completed. The rest of my night was kind of
blown working on that and we didn't even finish. I could have
transferred her number to the new phone but she doesn't have a screen
protector yet and I didn't want to take off the plastic currently
covering the screen because then I would have to clean the screen in
a couple days when the screen protector arrives. I also wanted to
make sure I got everything backed up and moved over to the new phone.
So she's going to keep using her old phone until we get all that
sorted out.
This morning I woke up way earlier
than I would have liked so that I could be at work by eight o'clock.
This was my first time opening during the week. It's pretty much the
same as the weekend but we don't have to count money, so it's easier.
I close this weekend and it has been a couple weeks so I'm actually
going to have to remember how to do all of the money stuff.
Today was a productive day at work.
I made a personalized reading list for a patron, I added more DVDs to
my display because several of them have been checked out, I updated
the chat statistics spreadsheet, I learned how to process homebound
books (which I think I may have done a bit of for my homebound
patrons but it felt entirely different today), and I did other things
that aren't coming to mind at the moment. I filled my day.
Near the end of my shift the HR lady
came over to talk about my hours at the conference. I had given her
the very detailed chart with all the time for each session and travel
but it turns out she didn't need it that detailed. We're apparently
counting from the start of the first session to the end of the last
session, which on most days equaled more than eight hours. It
actually seems to make things way more complicated than it needs to
be. The libraries that my classmates work for just paid them for
eight hours every day, nice and simple. I am now getting paid for
more than that which makes figuring out how much time I need to add
or subtract from my actual time at work much more confusing. I know
that I was at the convention center for more than eight hours most
days but I think I would prefer just counting it as eight hours to
make things easier for everyone. Unless doing it this way means I
get to take an extra day off or get to leave early some day, because
I could use that for my practicum and schoolwork. If it ends up
meaning I need to make up hours, I'm going to be annoyed.
On my breaks at work today I worked
on my scavenger hunt questions. And after dinner I continued working
on it, getting in about three hours today. That brings me up to
eight hours so far this week, which means I only have fourteen and a
half hours to go this week. Good grief. I finished up the draft of
my scavenger
