I forgot to mention that last night when I got home I called my
friend, because I had missed his call during dinner. He was going
out on the ship today and won't be back until May. By the time I got
back to him he was on his way to meet his brother for dinner so we
only got to talk for a little bit, but it's better than nothing.
This morning I opened at the library and I traded circulation some
sharp pencils for some of their unsharpened ones so I had something
to sharpen. I would say it was a fair trade. And I got to sharpen
about sixty pencils, so I was happy.
I think overall I was still recovering from a lack of sleep because
today felt like I was just trying to get to five o'clock. Most of my
morning was spent upstairs. And a lot of that was spent finishing my
Publisher picture editing to show what I think our library should do
in terms of signage. I even went downstairs a couple times to take
pictures so I could add signs on top of them. I spent way more time
on it than I should have but I think I'm done now. Unless another
idea comes to me.
I also briefly looked at the future event scheduling system (which
looks a lot better than the current one) and I started looking into
my fake news presentation. I only have a little over a month to get
that sorted out. And I've got less than a month to figure out my
conference presentation. The stress level will be slowly ramping up
over the next month. Can't wait.
Two things broke the monotony of the day. The first was five minutes
after my boss told me I was in charge of the library because she was
going to lunch and the director and assistant director were gone.
And then the power in the entire building blinked out. Thankfully it
quickly came back on and everything went back to normal. It could
have been much worse.
The second thing was a bunch of teenagers playing tag throughout the
library. I talked to one or two of them a couple times, one of the
other librarians talked to a couple, and the teen librarian spoke to
them, but they kept it up. I eventually had a walkthrough and
tracked them down. I caught one girl heading up the stairs and she
was trying to ignore my presence so I ended up having to say “Hey,
come down here,” and I felt really old. I then ran into the whole
group of them and was able to talk to them and tell them they needed
to stop. One of the kids I have met before because he was hanging
out with the two teen sisters we have had issues with over the past
couple of months upstairs. He's a super friendly kid and seems to
have a decent head on his shoulders, he just needs to be careful of
his company. He introduced himself again and I shook his hand but
held onto it and continued the handshake a little longer so I could
talk to him without him walking off. It felt like a very dad move,
but it worked.
And that was my day at work. At least the broad overview of it. It
was a very long/slow day and I would have preferred to just stay home
and take an eight hour nap.
On my way home I stopped by Target to get more cheese sticks and they
still don't have the big package so I had to get the small one again.
This time I bought three, just in case I don't make it back to the
store this weekend. I also bought some Beyond Meat chicken strips.
At some point I want to try their burger but they only have it at one
of the grocery stores. I also thought the chicken would go well with
my dinner. When I got home I roasted broccoli and carrots and
scrambled some eggs and made the chicken. I didn't mix it together
but that will be my dinner on Saturday. I also thought after the
fact that I should have made some brown rice but it worked out
without the rice. I'm not sure how I feel about the chicken. It
wasn't bad but I think I've had better. I also don't know that my
body appreciates soy that much, so over the last year I've kind of
gotten away from fake meat.
After dinner I played Terraria and watched YouTube videos.
Once again I made it through yesterday's videos but still have a lot
from today. I should be able to catch up this weekend. Maybe. I
kind of wish I could do a mini-hibernation over the weekend and wake
up rejuvenated on Monday. I don't foresee that happening.
