February 1, 2017

 Today I didn't have to be at work until 10:30AM so I got to sleep in a bit. It was nice.

When I got to work I started my day by setting up one of my displays. I pulled off all the books that were from last month's display and added mine. I think it looks pretty good. We'll see if anyone checks any out.

I also made my sign for the DVD display. I went with the title Love & War, I made the overall background a gradient of red and blue with transparent explosion over the whole thing, rows of hearts that changed color on each row, and a transparent silhouette of a couple kissing. It's over the top and obnoxious but I kind of like it.

I cut out the last of the props for the Harry Potter event tomorrow night. My fingers appreciate that because although we have several pairs of scissors to pick from, none of them are that great.

On one of my walkthroughs this morning I stopped over in the Children's department because the three big chairs in the Young Adult area had all been moved off into a corner and I wanted to see if that had been purposeful. I ended up talking with them for awhile before I went back to the chairs with the teen librarian to move them back where they should be.

I was on desk for two hours this afternoon and spent my free time updating my chat stats spreadsheet because it is a new month and I need to update all of the stats I keep track of. I just barely finished because I kept getting sidetracked by other desk things. I responded to emails, answered phone calls, helped a few patrons find books, and offered my feedback to the librarian gluing sticks to all the props we have been cutting out over the past few days. I also spent the last hour helping an older lady get ebooks on her phone. That ended up being a success and she was really happy and appreciative. That completely works for me. I'm still getting used to people wanting to know my name after I have helped them. I have never been a troublemaker but every time a patron asks me my name I feel like it is so they can go complain about me. It's weird.

Tonight was Chipotle night and that went well. I only had two videos to show after dinner but then we ended up watching several clips of Bill Burr on Conan. I don't know why he has been on show so often lately but I'm okay with it. I'm a fan of his angry, yelling rants.

When I got home I watched YouTube videos, caught up on internet stuff, and that's about it. When I finish this I'm going to play Minecraft while recording my audio journal. I couldn't find any coal last night while recording but afterward I remembered how to make charcoal by burning logs, which allowed me to go deep enough to find coal. Exciting times in Minecraft.


Tomorrow I don't go in until noon. I'm looking forward to sleeping in.
