This morning six o'clock came way too soon. But I got to bed at a
somewhat decent time last night, so it could have been worse.
I had to be at work at eight o'clock for a staff meeting. Turns out
the staff meeting only consisted of a presentation by my boss and one
of the other librarians in my department, so thirty minutes later we
were done. I figured there would be more to the meeting because it
seems like forever since we've had one, but nope. The presentation
was about customer service, and it was good, but the best part of the
meeting was before it actually started. The head of the maintenance
department was sitting behind me and I heard this interaction:
- Maintenance Guy: “These things are child-proof aren't they?”
- Tech Guy: “What is it?”
- Maintenance Guy: “Just a damn stick of cheese but I can't open it.”
I laughed so hard.
I was on desk for an hour and then I went upstairs because I had
registered for a virtual conference. It was the same virtual
conference I attended last year. I think the theme this year was
digital equity and minimizing the digital divide. The keynote
focused on that and net neutrality and it was really interesting.
After that I was only able to watched a couple short things before I
had to go to lunch. Everything should be archived so I can go back
at some point and check out some of the other sessions.
I went to lunch slightly late because I was talking to the teen
librarian, so I got back from lunch slightly late. And then we went
to do homebound. It went about the same as always. I did learn
while talking to one of my patrons that one of the grocery stores in
own may do curbside delivery, so you can order your groceries online
and they'll bring it out to you. I know the grocery store that I
currently go to does the curbside thing in other towns but I don't
think they do it here. So I might need to check into this other
grocery store. I'm kind of tired of getting screwed on produce late
at night.
When we got back to the library we dropped all our books off and then
I went to talk to one of the tech people about a new project that I
might get to pawn off on one of our assistants. That would be great.
And then I was on desk for an hour while everyone else went to the
second staff meeting (we do one in the morning and one in the
afternoon so everyone can go to it regardless of when they work). I
had enough time to finish updating my spreadsheets with the bookmarks
I got back from homebound today. So I'm way ahead of where I was
last month, when I kind of forgot about it for weeks. Then I talked
with my coworkers when they got back from the meeting until it was
time to leave.
After work I picked up Qdoba and headed to my Mom's for dinner. We
ate, talked, and watched videos. Good times as always. And then I
came home, watched YouTube videos, and started writing this.
And now I'm going to record my audio journal so I can think about
going to bed. I have to be at the library no later than 7:30AM
tomorrow which means I need to leave my house really close to seven
o'clock. It's going to be a rough morning. But it's better than the
teen librarian who did the presentations this morning because she has
about an hour long commute. I'm giving the same presentation to
three different classes, so I'm sorry to the first class because that
one probably won't be very great, but I should be decent by the third
one.
