 This morning it was freezing outside and not too long after arriving at work it looked like a snow globe outside. The snow didn't stick to the ground but it was coming down in big flakes that almost looked fake.

I had the thought to take notes today but then convinced myself that I would remember everything. I do not remember everything. This morning I finished up my homebound stuff. That included pulling books for my final patron and updating the spreadsheets for all my patrons.

I also pulled books for both of my displays, which are doing relatively well this month. The bestsellers display doesn't really count because that one already does well. I try to change it up by adding a decent amount of non-fiction, so that hurts my numbers a little bit probably, but it's still doing alright.

I resolved the issue I started troubleshooting last night regarding the patron who couldn't return a few ebooks. Turns out with that service our IT people can log in on the admin side and manually delete books, which they did, and all was well.

I also finished my weeding section. I technically finished yesterday but I had a few oversize books to pull. I also went through the entire list again and doublechecked all the books that I had marked as checked out in the catalog. The ones that were “out” and still had a last activity date from years ago I marked as missing.

This afternoon I got a new weeding list and spent a decent amount of time editing the raw spreadsheet to get it ready. I reordered the columns, did some math, marked the ones that couldn't be weeded because they are too new, and started going through and bolding the ones I will be weeding. I still need to finish that last part, reorder the list based on the Dewey number, and do some general formatting to make it all look better. And then I'll print it off and get started. It's got somewhere over 600 books on it. That's a lot of books.

Immediately following lunch we had the Pinterest class. I was just there as support but was able to jump in every now and then and help out. I didn't check the feedback yet but I think the class went relatively well. Hopefully the feedback backs me up on that.

And that was pretty much my day. All that I remember of it anyway.

When I got home I had dinner, which included a frozen meal. I haven't had one of those in awhile. I debated making pasta but I didn't want to be stuck with that for the next week. The meal I microwaved was pasta but in a one-meal size.

With the rest of my night I did nothing but watching YouTube videos, read articles, and click around the internet. One of these I'll do something more interesting with my time away from work.

Now I'm going to record my audio journal so I can go to bed. I ended up staying up until one o'clock last night watching Homefront so I'm a little tired. And I open tomorrow so I would like to get to bed at a decent time tonight.
