May 25, 2017

This morning I woke up after a full night of sleep, read a book in bed for awhile, took a shower, looked up a recipe, made a shopping list, ate lunch, and then went to work. Not a bad morning.

At one point today at work I came very close to grabbing a piece of paper to take notes about my day, but then I didn't. I think most of my day was spent working on two of my presentations. I took pictures of our new large print area and added those into my presentation for the senior center. I then focused on my presentation for the all-staff meeting. Most of it was avoidance. I remade my title slide because I was on a different computer than yesterday and the layout was screwed up. I fixed it but later on when I was back on the original computer it was screwed up again, but it looked fine on the other computer. I am assuming there is something differing in the PowerPoint settings on the two computers, but I didn't want to worry about it screwing up for the presentation so I went back to the second computer, saved the title slide as a PNG, and then put that on top of the title slide. Now it won't matter what computer I'm on. I also spent a long time looks for GIFs. I think I found some good ones. And tonight I finally got around to adding a couple slides about hate speech. It is slightly off topic because hate speech isn't mentioned in our policy, but I think it fits into the topic of the presentation.

My boss wanted me to do my personal evaluation today, which I did, but then I forgot to submit it. Whoops. I just tried to submit it from home but it's apparently internal so it can't be done outside the building. That's annoying. I think it is officially due Monday, so I can submit it when I'm at work on Saturday, but she won't be able to comment on it because we aren't open Monday. Whoops. I might see if I can park in the parking lot tomorrow and submit it while on the library wifi. If not, I might go in and see if I can log in and click submit if I tell my boss I'll take an extra five minutes at lunch on Saturday or something. If anything it will give me an excuse to wake up tomorrow morning instead of sleeping through the whole thing. We'll see.

This afternoon I went out with one of the assistants to drop off a box of books. Normally she goes out with the other assistant but he wasn't working today. And normally I think they go to multiple places but we only went to one place today. But it was a nice drive and a nice break from staring at a computer.

And that was my day. Presentation stuff, evaluation stuff, and a brief field trip. At least as far as I can remember.

After work I went to the grocery store. It's been awhile since I've shopped for groceries because I had the Blue Apron box. This morning I picked out a recipe for sweet potato chili that goes on top of a bed of rice. It had a good picture. I didn't get the red chili because they didn't have any generic red chilies and the only red colored chili they had was hot. I'm not a fan of hot. I also couldn't find cumin seeds or smoked paprika, so I'm going with ground cumin and regular paprika. I think it will be fine. When I went to look at the seasoning there was a lady there and after waiting a little bit she didn't move so I went to get eggs. And right as I was coming up to the eggs a couple walked up to them. I go to the store late at night so I can avoid people but apparently I need to go even later.


When I got home I put my groceries away, ate a rice crispy treat and some popcorn, and watched YouTube videos. And it is now nearly two o'clock in the morning and I am ridiculously tired, so I am going to record my audio journal and go to bed. I think my plan with my evaluation is to go to the library around noon because my boss goes to lunch at noon, so if I end up having to go inside maybe I can avoid having to make up time later. Fingers crossed.
