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.
