 This morning I slept in and it was fantastic. The best way to start a day.

When I got to work I went down and set up my love and war DVD display. My favorite part about it is that it will be easy to refill. Also, while looking for DVDs I saw that we had a couple that I want to watch but haven't found online, so I might need to check those out sometime. When I was done with the display, I worked on statistics stuff. Which involved putting the totals for the chat service last month into a table. Tedious but informative work.

After that I went upstairs so I could read the book chapter for our upcoming staff meeting next week.

And then I went to lunch. A two hour lunch is really nice. I went home, watched YouTube videos for awhile, eventually ate my leftover Chipotle, and then eventually went back to work.

I got back a little bit early so before I got on desk I went down and refilled the tax instruction books. And then I was on desk for pretty much the rest of the day. I was only scheduled for two hours but I didn't really have anything to do off-desk so yeah. I caught up on all of my monthly statistics stuff, and that is exciting. I even reorganized the web statistics information, giving each year its own sheet in the Excel file, which makes me happy. I didn't even realize we had stats going back to 2013 until I started unhiding columns.

I ended the night by starting and finishing a personalized reading list. I think I did a pretty good job, and I added a few more books to the list of books I want to read. An ever-growing list that will never come close to being completed.

While I was working on all of that stuff, there was a Harry Potter event happening in the library. The final best estimate for attendance was 271, which is pretty good. Based on the noise level and the amount of traffic by the desk I would have guessed it was much more. We had a potions room, trivia, dueling, wand making, divination, and live owls. From what I could see everyone was enjoying themselves, not only the patrons but also the staff and volunteers, so I will say it was a success.

When I got home I had some popcorn and watched some YouTube videos before diving into this. Now it is getting late so I am going to stop writing so I can record my audio journal. I started on January 2^nd so I have officially made it a month. I believe that is longer than the last time I tried an audio journal. Hooray.
