October 5, 2016

 Most of my day at work was spent on the desk. I helped patrons and worked on my tech class for next week. I focused entirely on Prezi and I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do yet. I'll figure it out. And hopefully someone will show up because as of today we're still sitting at a big fat zero. It would be nice if all the time I put into this was rewarded with the chance to actually teach a class.

When I wasn't on the desk I did a bit of weeding. After talking with my boss and one of the other librarians I went back over the shelves I weeded yesterday and pulled several more off. I put less weight on the last checkout date and more on the lifetime checkout number. I had so many books that I passed on yesterday because they had checked out last year, even if they only had half as many lifetime checkouts as they should. Well, I fixed that today. I get in grooves with weeding where I can just tear through the books but at other times I get caught up thinking way too much about each book. Such is life.

I also refilled our Inspirational display today. It isn't mine this month but the assistant who has it wasn't coming in today and it was running super low so I made a quick list and pulled some books. I'm not envious of the people who get that display because it's definitely filled with books I have no interest in reading. Although I could say the same about having Romance this month and that is actually kind of fun to pull books for. Mostly due to the ridiculousness of the books involved. I am shocked those books don't live on the banned books list based purely on their cover art.

In phone news, it's back to sucking. Today Google Services has used 44% of my battery. I had wifi turned off for a lot of the day to test that out but I still had to charge my phone at lunch. Auto-sync is still turned off so I'm not sure what the issue is now. My phone also gets hot pretty quickly when I put it in my pocket. I think it is partially due to being out in the wild because when I'm at home the battery usage pretty much levels out, which is much better than the steep decline I get at work. It's pretty annoying.

During the day I decided on my plans for tonight. And I actually stuck with them. I played Minecraft for the first time in months, and watched 10 Cloverfield Lane. I have wanted to watch that movie for awhile but kind of forgot about it until a YouTube video popped up discussing the movie. I started watching that video but realized pretty quickly that it was going to dive deep into spoilers so I stopped watched until I could watch the movie. I've gotta say that the ending was a little surprising because I forgot all about the origins of the Cloverfield name. It was an interesting movie. I'm always intrigued by movies that can remain compelling with a small cast in a confined space. Three characters in a bunker kept the movie interesting and I think that's impressive.

In Minecraft I finished building a staircase out of a cave and then ended up wrapping a walkway up to the top of a hill I came out near and then building a tall watchtower-like structure on the top. I can see it from my regular house and it looks pretty sweet off in the distance. I would really like to know how many hours I have put into Minecraft over the years. It's easily way more than any other game but I would like to know the actual number of hours. And I'll continue dumping hours into it.


Now I'm going to go to bed because it is late. I get to sleep in tomorrow and I am really looking forward to that.
