This morning I woke up before my alarm and had the pleasure of laying
in bed with my eye closed, thinking about nothing in particular for
awhile. It was nice.
Eventually I went to work and I did things. I came up with several
different versions of a bookmark for the teen librarian. She already
printed a bunch of the old ones but I felt compelled to improve it
after I saw her pull it up the other day.
When she was at the desk today we talked about the adulting series
and tried to come up with an image for the flyer. We both know what
we want but don't actually know what that is, if that makes sense.
She came up with a couple examples today and I'm going to ponder it
for a little while and see if I can get past the tip-of-the-tongue
feeling.
I worked on my homebound stuff today. I only finished one patron but
that's more than I had yesterday. I already have a start on most of
my other patrons thanks to the leftovers from my lists last month, so
that is good. I should be able to finish all the book lists on
Saturday and maybe get the books pulled on Sunday. Regardless of the
time line I should be able to finish everything this weekend.
Tonight I did a bit of weeding. We have moved on to fiction and the
new librarian took my section for weeding duplicates, so I didn't
have to do that. Now that duplicates have been pulled we are pulling
books that haven't been checked out in forever. Rather than getting
a giant list and figuring out the math ourselves, the technical
services manager just sent us lists of the exact books to pull. That
made it really easy and I was able to get it done very quickly.
When I got home after worked there were two cars in neighbor's
driveway that I didn't recognize. The house has been on the market
for about six months I think and it looks like the just lowered the
price last week. So maybe someone is interested or they're trying to
get someone interested. Something to keep an eye on. I have liked
not having to worry about my noise level.
I spent the rest of my night watching YouTube videos and a livestream
of Elite Dangerous, which I have become minorly obsessed with
today. As of late I have been sucked into the idea of space games,
which is why I was playing Star Conflict the other day. And
why I have watched Star Citizen streams in the past. And why
I pre-ordered No Man's Sky. But No Man's Sky left a
bad taste in my mouth because it was so over-sold and that raised my
expectations way too high. I still enjoyed that game for what it was
at the time but it wasn't all that I wanted. Star Conflict was
fun but it was more mission-based, so you can't really fly around and
explore outside of missions. Elite Dangerous is said to be
like an MMO in space, so there are all of the tedious quests and
things like an MMO, but it's also a giant world (simulating the 400
billion star systems in the Milky Way) and you can pick different
paths/classes (like a pirate or a fighter or a miner or whatever) and
just fly around and explore space. It also looks really nice
graphically and the sound design is apparently really good. I hoped
in the chat of the livestream I was watching tonight and the streamer
and the other people in the chat were helpful in answering my
questions and talking about the game. It also helped that the
streamer was listening to Star Trek music while playing.
And good grief it is one o'clock in the morning. I have to wake up
early for my long overdue haircut but after that I might have to take
a nap.
