 This morning I woke up early so I could get to work early. The staff meeting started at eight o'clock and I didn't want to walk in right as the meeting was starting. The other librarian I was presenting with was already at the desk so we walked over to the auditorium together. I went up to the front to plug in the flash drive and open up the presentation. While I was doing that apparently the assistant director asked my boss if I was giving a presentation. She was in a little bit of disbelief because she had mentioned it on a couple occasions and thought it was assumed that our department would do a short security presentation at the staff meeting each month. There was already a full schedule but he put our presentation at the end. And then the full schedule was too full and the presentation got bumped. All that work and anxiety. I guess we've been jotted down for the next meeting, which isn't until December, I'm assuming because of Thanksgiving. Who knows. I need to write down everything I wanted to say so I don't forget it.

This morning I answered a call from an older woman who was hard of hearing who wanted to know about the electoral college. I know that she was hard of hearing because she yelled at me for the entire conversation. It was rough.

We got our new weeding lists today so I spent some time working on that but most of my day was spent working on my budget class. I'm making progress. At some point soon I'll need to start bringing the books I have home so I can make actual progress. Time is running out.

I also need to come up with another display idea because I have the main display next month, which means next Tuesday. And I've got a lot of crap going on between now and then. I have thought about the need for a display idea but haven't actually thought of any ideas. That should probably be my focus at work tomorrow.

A little before lunch I emailed the guy at the bank to get some clarification on things. Like if I had been approved for the loan yet and how much I needed to get a cashiers check for and when the closing would be scheduled. Not too long after that he wrote back and said I had been approved and he would let me know tomorrow how much I would need for the check. At the same time I got an email back from the go-between lady wanting to schedule the closing. I didn't check my email until after four o'clock and I don't know what her hours are but she doesn't appear to work after four o'clock, or at least answer emails after four o'clock because it always defaults to an automatic away message. I let her know I wanted it as early in the day as possible so hopefully she'll go ahead and do that tomorrow. Then I can start scheduling the carpet, cleaners, locksmith, cable, and whatever else.

Other things probably happened throughout the day but it is getting late so let's get this moving.

After work I picked up Chipotle and managed to get a parking spot on my first try, which is a nice change. My bowl wasn't too impressive but it was edible. After dinner the videos went over well, which is always good.

Tonight I watched YouTube videos and started work on my next cross stitch pattern. I saw a Home Sweet Home pattern with a TARDIS on it. I liked the idea so I'm making my own pattern. I made the TARDIS look better and now I'm trying to find a better font for the words. I'm making progress.

I recently learned about the show Black Mirror on Netflix and I watched the first three episodes tonight. It's great. I'm a big fan of The Twilight Zone and it really is like a modern-day version of that show. So far there are only three seasons, and not a lot of episodes. The first has three, the second has four, and the third has six, which means it will make a fairly quick binge, but at least the episodes are at are a minimum of forty minutes. I want to keep watching but it is much too late right now.
