 This morning I slept in. I didn't really get around any quicker than usual. I think I watched videos and did other things and eventually made it over to my Mom's house around one o'clock. While my laundry happened I read a little bit, took a nap, and watched a few episodes of Night Court and The Drew Carey Show. I occasionally watch Night Court when I see it on TV but I haven't seen The Drew Carey Show and I think I can appreciate it more now. It's really funny. And Night Court is pretty great.

I got home a little after five o'clock and ate dinner before going to a work thing. We met at a coffee shop and just hung out. It was one of the librarians from our department with her husband, the new librarian in our department, the new assistant, my boss, a guy from the tech center, the assistant manager of circulation, and the head of youth services with her boyfriend. Not a bad turn out. We started off inside but as more people showed up we moved outside where we could move tables together. It lasted about two and a half hours and we just sat around and talked. It's nice to have some social interactions outside of work every now and then.

When I got home I watched a live stream and played Tera. It took me until 12:30AM but I reached level sixty-five. I found two dungeons that actually had decent XP and there were enough people playing tonight that the queues were really quick. Those dungeons got me most of the way and for the last three-quarters of level sixty-four I just ran around and did story quests which gave me at least forty million XP per quest. And I max leveled. I got the flying mount and a cape but I haven't opened them yet because I'm assuming they will be locked to my character, not available across all of my characters. It would be nice if I could mail them to another character so I could actually play with them. I'll be honest, I probably won't spent too much time playing the character I just leveled because my main enjoyment with any game that involves leveling, is the leveling. I really like my brawler but once I hit level sixty-five I kind of lost interest. The same will happen with this latest character. I know that there is still a lot of game left, but if I can't rank up it takes a lot of the fun out of it. They need to do a CoD thing and add in prestige, so you can reset your levels but get an icon or something to show that you have done this. I would play the crap out of that system. Anyway, at some point I'll see if I can transfer those items to another character. I want to try a healer class at some point, but after putting in so many hours recently, I think I need a break. My hands certainly do.
