I forgot to mention that yesterday I helped a girl who needed a librarian to verify her submitting an application. It was some government thing and it was odd. The employer specifically said a librarian needed to confirm the girl was who she said she was. She had to get my information to send to the employer so that the employer could send me an email with a link and log-in information. I then had to input information from the girl's driver's license and social security card. It was just weird that they wanted a librarian doing this. I'm glad we're trusted but it seems like there is someone out there whose job it is to do that sort of thing.

This morning I slept in, which was nice. Then I did some stuff I don't remember, ate lunch, and went to work. My day at work was pretty much completely spent working working on turning my verbal abuse presentation slides into GIFs. That has been such a long process. Way too many hours. But I finally freaking finished it and around eight o'clock I started putting it on the staff blog. At first the GIFs didn't work, which made me panic, but then I learned that you have to post GIFs at their original size, not small, medium, or large. After that everything was all good.

When I wasn't working on that, I helped patrons, signed people up and gave out prizes for summer reading, and talked with coworkers. It was a pretty laid back day. And it warm because they are replacing the compressor in the AC unit tomorrow and for some reason they turned the current compressor off this morning. It was nice when I got there but a few hours later it was up to 80 degrees. It's weird because you can walk twenty feet away from the desk and it is chilly, but the desk is 80 degrees. In theory everything will be fixed in the morning. Hopefully.

Tonight there was an event at the library that was livestreamed on YouTube. I had to be on desk so I just watched it on the computer while I worked on the GIF thing. It was pretty cool. The only problem was that a few people held the microphone too close to their mouth and it was hard to understand them. It was also interesting hearing applause in real life and then after a delay hearing it on the livestream.

After work I went to the store. This morning I saw a recipe for marinated and grilled vegetables that looked pretty good. They also suggested combining them with a recipe for sweet potato and black bean tacos. So I got the ingredients for all of that. Minus the asparagus because apparently that was on sale today and long gone by the time I got there. I'm going to substitute in broccoli because why not. I only have a George Foreman grill (which I've never used), not a real grill, so I think I'm just going to roast the vegetables. I may make it for dinner tomorrow night.

When I got home I unloaded my car and the ate a small havarti and mustard sandwich while watching YouTube videos. And now I'm going to record my audio journal because it is getting late and I need to go to bed. I open tomorrow and I'll be trying to function on less than a full night of rest. We'll see what the day brings.
