August 13, 2017

 Good grief. It's 12:30AM. I started this an hour ago and then I got sidetracked.

This morning I slept in, read in bed for awhile after waking up, took a short nap, and then got ready. After lunch I headed to work. It was an uneventful day. The first part of the day was spent finishing up homebound stuff. Turns out I didn't get very far with the spreadsheet updating yesterday, so that took a little while, and then I did the bookmark thing and stuffed the books in bags. And that was pretty much the end of my accomplishments for the day.

There was a big meeting in the auditorium today and they ran out of chairs so I had to find some more. I found some old ones that turned out to be solid metal. They looked like they had a metal frame with a plastic seat and back, but nope, everything was metal. And they were freaking heavy. They were also really dusty because they probably haven't been used in a decade. But they got the job done. Thankfully, when it was all over, the guy in the tech center helped me stack them back on the tower of other chairs.

I kind of worked on my tutorial thing today but got hung up on the screenshot aspect of it. I want to show consecutive shots of the same page with different menus showing, but I don't want to show the whole screenshot, just the webpage, and I want each one to be the same size so they don't jump around the page as the menus change. I couldn't come up with a decent solution so I didn't really get anywhere. I gave it a decent try.

Less than five minutes before we closed I helped the patron from yesterday with another prescription drug thing. And then after we closed we were a little bit late because one of the employee entrances wasn't locked and we had to figure out how to lock it. Surprisingly tricky.

On my way home I picked up a sandwich from Jimmy John's so I didn't have to make dinner. I spent the rest of my evening watching New Girl (getting into the second season) and playing Tera. I'm somewhere in the 40s on leveling my character. Progress.

While I was at work my Dad and brother looked at my window well. It sounds like they came up with a plan of attack so hopefully we can get that ball rolling. It will be nice going back to not worrying about my basement flooding.

When I first turned my laptop on to write this the GPU fan was loud as hell again. So I opened up my laptop again and figured out how to pull the fan out. The fan looked fine but when I pulled it out there was some dust next to the heat sink. It doesn't seem like that would be enough to cause the weird noise but we'll see. It doesn't happen regularly, and it hasn't happened in at least a week or two. Time will tell.


And it's now 1:45AM because I have been watching New Girl while writing this. Good grief.
