 Today was really boring.

There is a bookmark design contest for teens so I drew one in Paint because it was Friday and there was nothing going on. If I could draw, it would be a great bookmark because the idea is solid. The theme is unleash your story so I drew a picture of someone walking books (like a dog walker) and one of them has broken free of the leash and is flying away. Genius.

I was on desk for two hours before lunch and I had two phone calls, a few purchase requests, and I think I helped someone with the printer. It was so slow.

After lunch I had two free hours and nothing to do so I watched a webinar on negotiating in the workplace. It was kind of awful and not really helpful. It was presented by a mother and daughter team and it felt like they were just trying to sell a book. They kept using acronyms that they had obviously made up. I almost fell asleep multiple times.

We have moved our adulting classes back to Tuesday in the Spring, which means we'll avoid Valentine's Day and messing with my department's scheduling. There was a conflict on one of the days with the book sale but I got it sorted out so we're good to go. Six months from now. It's ridiculous to know what's happening six months from now. And technically I know what's happening next May, which is nine months away.

When I got home I ate dinner, watched videos, and played a little Tera. Then I went to the grocery store. I didn't really have a game plan and didn't make a list, which I don't think I'll be doing again because I felt very lost. I like having a set goal. I wanted to switch up my peanut butter sandwich lunch with different sandwiches but I didn't really accomplish that. Next time maybe. As I was walking to the checkout I passed two girls who were looking at blueberries and then the bag exploded and blueberries went everywhere. The look on their faces was priceless.

I played more Tera after I put my groceries away. The last five levels are going to take awhile. The dungeons now suck. I queued forever to get into a few different dungeons and they were pretty short and I didn't get a significant amount of XP out of it, so definitely not worth it. I've gone back to doing story quests and I slowly made it from level sixty to sixty-one. It would be much faster if I were a Brawler and could just tank and grind through mobs.

It is now after one o'clock in the morning. Much too late. Tomorrow I'm going to do laundry and then there is a work thing that I might go to. If I don't accidentally take a nap because it is way too late right now and I am still typing. But I'm stopping now.
