This morning started much like yesterday, and then I once again went to work.

It was an interesting day. I was at the library for eight hours but I didn't seem to accomplish much. I'm actually having a hard time remembering how most of the day passed. I spent a decent amount of time in Excel. I compiled the feedback from classes on where people had heard about the class and what classes they want in the future. The goal is to use this information to help come up with the schedule for next semester, which I've got about two weeks to figure out. Doable, if I would just do it. I also got my new/last weeding list for nonfiction so I spent time editing that and printing it out. Once we're done with nonfiction we're moving to large print.

This afternoon we had our tech drop-in and it was a bit of a fail, most likely due to it being Spring Break week. Hopefully. We had one person show up in the last ten minutes and his issue was out of the scope of what we could do. He had a laptop that had been dropped and the screen was completely broken and he was wanting information on repairing the screen and getting information off of the hard drive. We advised him that repairing the screen probably wouldn't be worth it, if it were even possible, and told him about hard drive docks that he could use to get the information off the hard drive. I also told him that before he bought anything he could try plugging the laptop into his TV just to make sure the hard drive was still working. It would suck to get a dock just to find out that hard drive had broken along with the screen.

So the volunteer and I sat there for an hour and fifty minutes and then helped one person for five minutes. Not the most productive use of our time. But, I had a good conversation with the volunteer about buying houses, because he and his wife just bought one, and we talked a lot about video games, because it turns out he's a big PC gamer. So at least something good came out of it.

And that was my day at work. What I remember of it anyway. I helped the occasional patron, talked about work stuff with my coworkers, and talked about a lot of non-work stuff with my coworkers.

When I got off work I went to my Mom's house to feed the dogs and then I started packing up my stuff. She wasn't supposed to get back until tomorrow but the timetable got moved up and she got back at seven o'clock tonight. Almost on the dot, which was impressive.

My new debit card came so when I got home I updated my PayPal account. That ended up being a bit of a struggle because the only phone number it would recognize was my Mom's home phone, so it became a team effort. I was able to get in the other day and set my cell phone as my primary number but apparently that wasn't good enough. I was able to get it sorted out in the end, which is good because I was able to order a new pair of green Chucks for work.

I caught up on YouTube videos and watched some more Power Rangers. They are on Ninja Storm which is... interesting. It's not actually that bad relative to the other seasons I have seen but their sensei is a CGI gerbil that just looks ridiculous. Horribly animated CGI morphing cutscenes are one thing but an important character seems unnecessary. I actually used the new clipping feature for the first time tonight to save a clip of the gerbil saying he was going to use his telepathic ninja powers to communicate with the rangers. It was just too ridiculous.

And it is now 11:30PM because I need getting distracted, so I'm going to record my audio journal real quick and go to bed. Thankfully I don't have to go in until noon tomorrow.
