November 20, 2016

This morning I got to sleep in and it was pretty great.

Today I went to work at noon. After talking with my coworker today I think on Sunday we're supposed to come in at noon. When we do our timesheets we put Sunday down as five and a half hours but if we come in at noon we are actually there for six hours. I don't really mind it because it gives me time to count the drawer and get ready at a leisurely pace.

I did things today. I made a personalized reading list. We got a request yesterday which I was going to do but we got another one today which was much easier because they actually included authors they liked. The one from yesterday looked like they just clicked most of the checkboxes on the form, which made their request super broad, and they didn't include any authors or books they liked. That is the fault of our form for not requiring specific information, but it also the fault of the patrons who don't include basic information that would make our job easier. All that being said, I managed the request we got today fairly well, and I found a book that I ended up checking out (because I only have thirteen books checked out right so what's one more?).

I caught up with my chat statistics today. Turns out the last time I updated those was on the seventh of this month. But now we're good.

Near the end of the day I got a chance to weed and pulled forty-three books from our collection. Forty-three books that were all old and outdated and no longer circulating.

And we'll say that was pretty much my day at work. I also helped some patrons randomly throughout the day. I also had to ask an old homeless guy to leave at the end of the day when we closed. That sentence does not sound very good but I asked him politely and we had a nice conversation as he got himself ready. When he was a kid he apparently went to school at the nearby elementary school, long before the library moved to the current building. He was just waiting for the community dinner at the church across the street and I told him I had heard it was pretty good. As he left he told me to have a good evening and I told him to do the same and enjoy his dinner. I felt bad that I had to ask him to leave but I am thankful it was a clear night and that the temperature was only a little crisp and not cold.

When I got home I ate dinner and spent the rest of the night watching YouTube videos and a couple episodes of Supergirl. I also played Terraria. I haven't played it in forever but I was talking with my coworker and his girlfriend yesterday and she recently got sucked into the game. That got me thinking about it again and now I'm back. My old save disappeared, and I may have it copied somewhere, but because it's been so long since I played I was already planning on starting over. I think I had progressed about as far as I could on my own with my last save and kind of forgot what I was up to, other than grinding seasonal drops. There have also been a lot of changes to the game since I last played, so I'm basically jumping in as a brand new player, relearning the game, and discovering all the new additions to the game. It's as addictive as I remember it.


Tomorrow I work and then I think I'm going to spend the night at my new house for the first time. My boss called today and said she had forgotten to give me a day off this coming week for working the weekend so now I have Tuesday off. That means I can spend the night tomorrow and not have to worry about getting up early and getting ready for work in a new environment. I had already planned to spend the night Tuesday because I don't go in until noon on Wednesday, meaning I wouldn't have to wake up early, but not working at all on Tuesday is even better.
