This morning I did not wake up early enough to make breakfast. That is not surprising. I laid in bed, decided my bed was way better than breakfast, and stayed there until my alarm went off.

At work I did a whole bunch of stuff before we opened. I got there at noon, counted the register, refilled the displays, pulled more books for the bestsellers display, restocked the tax booklets, turned things on, and sharpened a bunch of pencils.

And then I spent most of the rest of my day looking at really old newspapers online. There was a lot of unsuccessful searching and then I hit on something and it snowballed and I ended up with a lot of information about one of the hills I was looking for. I still don't have much information on the other hill but progress is being made.

Other than helping patrons in all the various mediums (in-person, phone, and chat), I talked for a little while about movies with my coworker. One movie turned into the next and the next and the rabbit hole was real. Always good times.

I'm off tomorrow but I might get in trouble when I go in on Tuesday. At the end of the day we are supposed to put the cash drawer in the “safe”, which is really just a locked cabinet that really isn't that secure. Anyway, when I went to get the cash drawer out of the register I hit the decimal button instead of the no sale button and then I couldn't get the register open. I turned it off and on several times, tried a different key, tried the different key positions, and tried all the buttons. Nothing worked and I finally said screw it. To my knowledge no one has ever broken into the library to steal money and I kind of think the money is safer in the register that won't open than in the safe/cabinet where the doors can be pulled out even when it's locked. And the building surrounding the cash register is locked, so we should be good. Famous last words. I just hope I don't get into that much trouble for it.

On my way home I stopped by my Mom's house to pick up an Amazon box and then I came home and made dinner. I ate the rest of my rice and vegetables and I made scrambled eggs. Instead of watching a movie, I spent the night catching up on YouTube videos. Haven't quite made it.

Now I'm going to record my audio journal and then figure out how to delete stuff from my Dropbox folder on my laptop without deleting it everywhere because it is 114GB and I am down to 9MB on the hard drive the folder is on. The pop-up telling me I'm out of space is getting really annoying. At one point I stopped the folder from syncing but that apparently stopped working at some point. So yeah, I need to get that figured out.

As I mentioned previously, I'm off tomorrow. I need to go do some laundry but other than that who knows. I'll probably waste most of the day and not accomplish much.
