The day is already a blur. Probably should have taken notes. I
talked with my boss about the missed article and it went well. She
recently missed one, too, so she couldn't be that mad at me. We also
came up with a plan to better display upcoming due dates for things.
We're going to put stuff in our cubicle upstairs because at least for
writing articles, that's where we often go to write them. I'm
looking forward to having all that information prominently displayed
instead of buried on the computer in a million different places.
I pulled out more prize tickets from overflowing jars but didn't have
time to count them. I got a call from a homebound patron who said
she didn't want books this month, so I pulled the bookmarks out of
all sixteen books and took them down to circulation. The one benefit
is that now I have a pre-made list for next month. I thought about
the tutorials I need to make but couldn't actually find the material
that I'm supposed to use for the first tutorial so most of my time
was spent just clicking around.
We had a department meeting today and it was delayed about ten
minutes because right before I got off desk a mom walked up. She
asked about summer reading, walked off, and came back with two
teenagers. They needed to sign up and record minutes. It took a
long time because they had to figure out how many minutes they had
read, and they had numerous asides the interfered with the sign-up
and minute logging process. But I eventually got it sorted and made
it to the meeting. I just spelled 'meeting' like 'meeding'. Good
grief.
After the meeting I was on desk for an hour. Most of that time was
spent looking at my wellness screening results because they already
came back. I was not expecting a twenty-four hour turn around. Last
year I got a seventy-one out of a hundred and this year I got an
eighty-four. So not bad. I need to work on my good and bad
cholesterol and my triglycerides. Seems easy enough...
When I got home I ate dinner, watched YouTube videos, and clicked
around the internet. Then I played some Elite Dangerous in
VR. It was fun but also unproductive. I made it to my next system
but it has three suns, each with several planets, and I can't find
the one I need to scan. And it doesn't help that I can't reliably
mark planets in the system map in VR. I did some searching online
but most people just complain about not being able to easily navigate
the galaxy map in VR. That's a whole other beast but I haven't had
any trouble with that, mainly because I haven't messed with it much.
There are still more things to try but not today.
It has taken me over an hour to write this because I keep getting
distracted. First was a livestream. I was watching VernNotice play
Playerunkown's Battlegrounds and he was saved in the most epic
way possible. He was down and bleeding out behind a tree when his
teammate said “Vern, I'm going to do something and I need you to
trust me.” He then grabs a car, drives past Vern and toward the
two guys shooting at Vern. He slides to a stop in the middle of a
smoke grenade cloud, while simultaneously getting out and firing his
rifle, quickly killing the other two players. There is a brief bit
of confusion when the game bugs and he can't heal himself, but once
he can, he runs to Vern to revive him. While he's running a third
player jumps out of a nearby second story window and starts throwing
Molotov cocktails at the car because he thinks Vern's teammate is
still there. The teammate makes it to Vern and revives him with
maybe half a second to spare. He then gets knocked down by the
Molotov guy but Vern is able to shoot him and return the favor my
reviving his teammate. It was so epic. And very distracting.
Then I got a message that my computer has shipped and it will be here
on Friday. Being a computer, they obviously want a signature, but I
will be at work. If it was a laptop, I might see about having it
delivered to the library. But it's a desktop, and the last one I got
came in a giant box. For one, I don't think it will fit in my car.
And second, even if it did, it would be a pain in the ass getting it
to my car. So I got sidetracked looking at my options. It looks
like there is a business near my house that is a UPS Access Point and
I could have the box delivered there and I could grab it after work.
I'll need to check on that further.
It is now after midnight and I have to wake up at six o'clock so I am
going to stop typing and I can record my audio journal.
