 I sharpened so many pencils this morning. It was nice. And I wish I hadn't run out of time because I could have kept going. Once we opened I went upstairs. I talked to the teen librarian and the PR lady for a little while and then I went to our cubicle so I could make phone calls.

I started by calling the patrons who have not picked up their summer reading prizes. I skipped the guy who I thought was a wrong number because I said “Brian” instead of “Ryan” (or the other way around) and had the teen librarian call him. His prize has expired and he knew that so I'm just going to let it go. I left another voicemail for one lady and I talked to the other lady, who I spoke with before but I'm not entirely sure her memory is all there. We'll see.

Then I called the technical college and left a message for the auto tech instructor about teaching the car class. He called me back a few minutes later and said he was in. He said he emailed me a couple weeks ago and thought it was strange he never heard back. And I said I never got an email, which I didn't, not even in the junk folder. So that is weird, but we got it sorted out. He and the other instructor should both be able to come and they're also going to cover registration and insurance, which I hadn't even thought about, so I'm pretty excited. It was also an instant load off my mind and the stress has been lifted. There's still all the other stuff on my to-do list, but I'm taking the victories as they come.

I came up with our Spring tech schedule before our programming meeting this afternoon. And then it ended up not really being that necessary because the tech classes and workshops didn't even come up. I made a few smart remarks throughout the meeting but other than that I just sat there for an hour and listened to everyone else throw around their ideas. It was actually kind of pointless for me to be there but it's nice to know what's coming up. And now I have until the end of September to come up with descriptions, so it's nice that I was forced to come up with the classes, even if it was technically unnecessary. I also got all the room reservations done. The Fall classes haven't even started yet and I'm almost already done with Spring classes. It's kind of ridiculous.

And that was pretty much my day. I also helped patrons and refilled displays. And did other things that I can't remember.

We are postponing family dinner night until next week so tonight I had the rest of my leftover pizza, watched YouTube videos, and made it into the fourth season of New Girl (which looks noticeably different and I'm not sure if it is higher quality or if they're just doing more close-ups or if I'm just making it all up). I also made it to level twenty in Kritika so I should be receiving a code soon for the Tera mount. And, in Tera I did a couple dungeons and leveled up a couple times. Ever closer to level sixty-five.

And it has now been almost half an hour since I wrote that last paragraph because New Girl. So I'm going to pause that and record my audio journal so I can go to bed.
