This morning was
fairly busy at work. I had planned on working on something, I think,
but never made it to whatever it was because it felt like I was
playing catch up. There were a lot of emails to respond to, purchase
requests to find, and interlibrary loans to search for. There were
also phone calls and patrons in person. It made the time go by
quickly, so I guess there's that.
A couple girls from
the school I worked at came in with their mom to make copies. It
took forever for the change machine to take the mom's dollar and at
one point she remarked “This change machine is like my kids, it
won't eat anything I give it.” I thought that was pretty funny.
My recently former
homebound patron (because she moved to a different nursing home) came
in today to check out DVDs and return her last round of books that I
took her. I didn't see her but the maintenance guy talked to her and
he said she went on and on about home much she appreciated the
homebound service and how much she liked all the things I picked out
for her. That's pretty cool.
I went to lunch
early so I could get back in time to set up for the tech class this
afternoon. I learned this morning that I would be teaching part of
it. Good to know. We ended up having twelve people show up for the
class, which isn't a bad turn out considering the limit for the class
is fourteen. And the class went well. The tech lady and I went back
and forth covering different aspects of Windows 10, and I think that
worked better than one of us talking for the first half of the class
and then other for the second half. Frequently trading off kept
things moving but also provided some downtime where people could
throw out questions if they had them. We were able to cover a lot of
information and answer a lot of questions, and at least according to
the evaluation at the end, the patrons seemed to get a lot out of the
class. Success.
When I got home
tonight I ate dinner and then packed up my car with things I would
need to finally spend the night at my house. I brought pillows,
toiletries, clothes, blankets, my laptop, and library books. The
shower head my mom ordered also showed up so I grabbed that. I think
I have all the tools I will need to install it. I'm not convinced of
it's longevity because it feels like plastic covered in plastic
chrome, but I am hoping it can be maneuvered high enough so that I
don't have to duck down too low to get my head wet.
After I unloaded
everything at my house I got my laptop hooked up to the projector. I
spent the rest of the night watching YouTube videos, listening to
music, and playing Terraria on my wall. I forgot to save the
game I started a couple days ago to the cloud so I started another
one. Maybe I'll just keep the two saves local to their respective
computers.
It is now around
midnight and I am going to call it a night. I'm freaking tired. I
am currently typing this on the wall, which is pretty cool, but I'm
struggling to keep my eyes open, so I'm going to crawl into my new
bed and hope it is as comfortable for a full night of sleep as it is
for a few minutes of testing it out.
