 This will be a short entry because there wasn't a lot going on today.

I slept in, probably getting nine or ten hours of sleep, and I really needed it.

At work most of my day was spent looking at stuff related to fake news, trying to come up with ideas for my presentation. I'm getting closer to actually working on the presentation. But I also need to work on my conference presentation. It's a juggling act I haven't figured out yet.

I had my monthly meeting with my boss today. It went well. Not a lot had changed since last month. She did acknowledge how busy my last month was, so that was nice.

I had some time before my dinner break so I cleaned out my inbox and came across my homebound bookmarks from last month. I had completely forgot about them and never got around to entering in all the feedback into my spreadsheets. I managed to finish that tonight. I also updated most of the return dates for the books because I was off a day. I was off a day on the bookmarks I made last month and had to write in the correct date by hand, but I hadn't thought to check the computer record, and it makes sense that it was off as well because I had gotten the bookmark date from the computer record. But everything is good now.

I tried watching usability videos but the site we use was acting up so I finally gave up because it was an incredible waste of time. It was taking forever to load a video and then the CSS was broken (in the recording, not on our website, however that happens) so I put a picture of the meme “Ain't nobody got time for that” into my spreadsheet where I write down issues I spot, and moved on with my life.

I ended up watching several climbing videos when I got back from dinner. Another librarian and I were both trying to avoid work and we got on the topic of rock climbing and I mentioned bouldering, so I pulled up a few videos, and then we switched to speed climbing, and then one finger pullups with a fingerboard. It was a rabbit hole, but we both needed it.

When I got home I ate a snack and watched YouTube videos. Now I'm writing this and occasionally checking my basement because it is raining pretty hard outside. So far the makeshift cover on my window well is doing its job but I'm going to continue to periodically check it and probably won't go to bed until the majority of the storm has passed. Yay.
