October 19, 2016

 I can't remember the specifics of it but last night I had a dream that Cheez-Its were made out of dead people. They may or may not have been killed for the purpose. I'm assuming the weirdness of the dream can be tied to watching The Purge: Election Year right before going to bed.

This morning I felt like I got a slow start but then I had several extra minutes to kill before going to work. Interesting.

After I did all the opening stuff I messed with my homebound spreadsheets for awhile until I had to go upstairs for the virtual conference. The keynote was interesting but the next session was less than interesting. Also, there were three presenters and at one point one of them forgot to mute their microphone and started doing dishes. The current presenter eventually had to apologize for the other presenter creating background noise. I've heard some random background noise before but dishes rattling and water running is a first.

After lunch we went out to deliver books. It went well. We had a minor Austin Powers hallway golf cart moment when trying to finding a parking spot at the first nursing home but the other librarian recovered nicely. I again managed to get back to my first patrons room without her noticing me but this time she didn't scream so that was good. I had a good conversation with the patron who I'm losing next month because she's moving to a nursing home covered by the other librarians. I also met my new patron who is my new favorite because it will be easy picking books for her. She is a former librarian and was really happy to start the program so that was pretty cool.

When we got back we unloaded the books and I spent the rest of my shift updating my spreadsheets and helping patrons. I got a little sidetracked by helping patrons so I didn't finish the spreadsheets but there's always tomorrow. Or the next day. One of the sidetracking patrons asked me if there was a resource that kept track of how many members of the military endorsed each presidential candidate during each election. A very interesting question and not the easiest to find. When I wasn't helping other patrons I did some brief googling. It's fairly easy to find information on the current election but I didn't find a single source that had the information for past elections. I think I need to just search for each candidate individually. I emailed him the few things I found but I want to keep looking because it is an interesting question.

It looks like my mom doesn't need to be a co-borrower on my loan after all. In my explanation about a deposit I mentioned a graduation check and it turns out earning my latest degree is explanation enough for why I wasn't making that much money in the recent past but now I'm making considerably more. Who knows. I sent them a copy of my diploma tonight, which will hopefully clear that up. I also sent a copy of the final counter addendum for the contract that deleted the line from my original offer mentioning the roof. Fingers crossed that will end the roof discussion and the loan can proceed.

I watched Jason Bourne tonight. The car chase scenes did not disappoint. I'm kind of over the story because we get it already, but I like the movies. It also makes me want to work on my purposeful walk. There is a lot of purposeful walking in those movies.

I still haven't bought Battlefield 1 yet but I was texting with my brother about it today and he's not helping. He was telling me how good it is, and I already know how good it looks. Maybe if I can get this loan thing un-stalled tomorrow I'll buy the game in celebration.


I want to read before bed but I'm tired so I think I'll just go to sleep instead. Sleep is always good.
