This
morning I had the opportunity to wake up fifteen minutes early. I
went back to bed. And I stayed there until thirty minutes after my
alarm went off. It didn't seem like a bad way to start the day, and
I was feeling good about this Monday. And then, right as I was about
to walk out the door, I noticed some sort of stain on my pants. I
think it was breakfast related. That was annoying because I was
already running a little late. I'm just glad I noticed it before I
got to work. It would have been really frustrating to discover it
after getting to work.
It
was a very laid back day at work. I spent most of the morning
working on my latest personalized reading list, which was packed with
feminism and strong female protagonists. I think it's a pretty
decent list.
This
afternoon I watched a webinar about a new app for one of our digital
libraries. It was way easier than the current app, which requires
you to log into the app and then into the library itself. It's a
pain and very confusing. They have also integrated a help feature,
so maybe more patrons will go that route instead of coming to the
library with issues that we then have to go to the help section to
answer. Overall, it's way better and I look forward to introducing
it to patrons.
The
other main thing I did today was watch usability videos. I am nearly
caught up with the videos for May. Good grief. I don't know what I
have going on tomorrow but I should be able to finish up the May
videos and start on June. I have plenty of other things I could be
doing but most of them are far enough off that I don't feel too
compelled to do them yet.
Other
than that stuff, I did all the regular stuff. Helping patrons in the
library, in chat, and over the phone. I also gave out summer reading
prizes and signed a few people up. So all the regular stuff.
Tonight
I didn't really do much. I ate dinner, which was leftover sweet
potato and marinated vegetable taco stuff (minus the taco part
because I just ate it in a bowl). Still delicious. After dinner I
watched YouTube videos and livestreams and played with GIMP. I
couldn't stop thinking about my book GIF today so I had to jump back
in. I tried some different border options and I also wanted to try
something with my original GIF. I think I may be able to do the GIF
with a completely transparent background so I can put a slightly
transparent PNG behind it, making it look like the book has a semi
transparent background, which I can't do with a GIF. I think I will
need to remake the whole GIF but knowing that it should be possible
is helpful. I am also thinking of trying one without the border and
giving it a title to make it look more like the HUD items in the
game. If I didn't have to open tomorrow I would probably be working
on that now. But it's already after eleven o'clock and will probably
be at least midnight before I get to bed, so I'm already pushing my
luck.
I
adjusted the grandfather clock tonight, trying to match the pendulum
with the seconds ticking on my phone. I don't think that was the way
to go about it. I noted the time that I set the clock and I am going
to check back tomorrow at the same time so see what has been lost or
gained, and then make some adjustments.
Now
I'm going to stop writing so I can record my audio journal. And
then, I'm going to go to bed.
