February 21, 2017

 This morning I got to sleep in and it was fantastic. Then I went to work.

I would say most of my day was spent working on class things. I spent way too much time working on the storyboard. Way too much time. I updated the one I made in PowerPoint and I made one using Twinery and one using a free online tool. I'm putting too much thought into something that is supposed to be a very basic outline of what the tutorial will be. It's a little frustrating but it is also my go-to when it comes to schoolwork when I'm trying to avoid other things.

We had our second tech drop-in today and we had three people show up. I'm saying that was a good turnout because there is always the fear that no one will show up. The first lady showed up almost a half hour early I was still finishing some stuff but by I started helping her about fifteen minutes early, and talked with her for maybe forty-five minutes. She was interested in buying a computer and learning basic computer skills. I told her about Chromebooks and the Surface Pro, and showed her a few places online where she could learn the basics if she was waiting on an appointment with our one-on-one tech trainer. She was an interesting lady. She was a talker so I learned all about her life and her daughter.

I helped the next patron for nearly the full two hours with her table and getting her set up with our digital library resources. We made it through three resources and we both acknowledged it was a lot to process so she was going to write down any questions that came to her when she got home and come back next time. The other patron who came was the same one I talked to for quite awhile a few weeks ago about a whole bunch of random things, including our diets and my kidney stone, while I was helping her with other things. One of the other librarians and our volunteer helped her with email stuff across her different devices.

After the first lady left and the other two hadn't shown up yet we sat around trying to come up with ways to market the drop-in better. We ended up writing on a rolling whiteboard that it was happening upstairs and I put that down in the atrium. It didn't attract anyone but I think it's a start.

Tonight I added pictures to my Twinery storyboard and started working on the script. And that was about it. It was a very slow, quiet evening.

The most interesting conversation I overheard at the desk today was a patron who came up and was interested in books or information about the history of anarchy. His goal was to prove to his roommate that actual anarchy was different than the show Sons of Anarchy. At some point his girlfriend came up and asked what he was doing. He started to explain to her what he was trying to do and she apparently gave him a look because he said “Hey, I don't ask what you do.” It was pretty funny.

Tonight I've just been watching YouTube videos, paying bills, and clicking around the internet. In a pleasant turn of events, GTAV started properly when I tried it this evening. Maybe something on their end was screwed up last night, because even after I reinstalled it the game still couldn't get past loading screen for the Social Club. I didn't actually play tonight but I did see if I had lost my singleplayer progress. I may have lost a little bit but it didn't knock me back to the beginning which I feared it might.


I have tomorrow off so I am going to sleep in and then maybe make some eggs for breakfast. I haven't had scrambled eggs for a little while.
