 Six o'clock came way too early this morning. I had planned on getting at least close to seven hours of sleep but then I decided to ask out the woman I've been texting and that led to a logistics conversation, which took awhile and I didn't get to bed until after midnight.

I ended up parking my car at eight o'clock, because I left the house a few minutes late, traffic sucked, and I think I hit every single stoplight. So I was a couple minutes late, but my boss was several minutes late, so it was all good. The opening stuff was the same as usual but I only got to sharpen a few pencils because we're out of unsharpened ones (minus the box in the workroom that I'm leaving in case we need unsharpened pencils to hand out.

I brought my flex nib pen so that the teen librarian could try it out because she has one on her Christmas list. I also brought some Rhodia paper because it handles the ink a lot better. Regular copy paper looked awful with the flex nib and all the ink it lays down.

I found out the year-long banning of the patron last night went well. The police arrived, they handed him the letter, and he calmly walked out with them. He's very unpredictable so I'm glad it went smoothly.

When we opened I went upstairs for two hours to work on my presentation. I accomplished some things but not a lot. I'll admit I zoned out a little bit. After that I had an uneventful and continued working on my presentation. Once again that was pretty much my day, working on my presentation and occasionally helping patrons or talking to my coworkers.

Over the last two hours at work I helped a family print a form and then scan and email it. It took so long because they were trying to print from their phone and that can be tricky. I eventually had them log onto one of our computers, helped them reset their email password (which is a common thing because so many people only access their email on their phone and never have to log in), and printing was so much easier. And scanning was a piece of cake.

When I got home I ate spaghetti and spent the evening watching YouTube videos, and now I'm watching The Race livestream that they do every year when a new Call of Duty comes out. It's got GoldGlove, Vern, TmarTn, Hutch, and Tucker and it's usually pretty entertaining.

It's only 9:30PM now and I'm tired, but I close tomorrow so I'll get to sleep in tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to that.
