 Last night I got around six and a half hours of sleep, which was not enough. I also had a dream last night that I was helping a patron with the printer at the library. Gotta love dreaming about work. I did end up helping a patron with the printer today, a little foreshadowing I guess.

When I first got to work I had an hour off desk so I read news articles and things related to libraries. Since working on my fake news presentation I have been more inspired to read about the news. It makes sense to try and stay informed as an information professional.

I then had my monthly meeting with my boss and that went well. She commended me on how well I handled the last month with all of my big projects. Then I was on desk for what felt like the rest of the day. I talked to my coworkers about Thanksgiving and worked on figuring the printed room schedule using our new reservation system. It's a lot less user friendly than the old schedule, which is saying a lot because the old schedule was not user friendly at all. I think it's going to take a lot of fiddling just to make it look good, so we might just not have a schedule that looks good. I have enough downtime now that I can keep messing with it. I'm supposed to teach the other people in my department how to do it on Wednesday so hopefully I can come up with something tomorrow.

And that was pretty much my day at work. I helped the occasional patron, including a perturbed lady on the phone, and worked on the schedule thing. It was a very laid back day, and that's not a bad way to start the week.

When I got home I ate dinner, watched YouTube videos and clicked around the internet, and then played some CoD: WW2. I played my first game of Capture The Flag in this CoD and it's definitely the best game of Capture The Flag I will ever play. By the end of it I had twelve kills, five deaths, three captures, and one return. I wish I was recording it. For one of my captures I made it back to our side but our flag was gone so I had to wait and defend the capture. I killed at least five or six people while holding the flag, which thankfully allows you to use your real gun, not your pistol, and I was nearly out of ammo when I heard that our flag was returned. As I rounded the corner, someone on the enemy team was running up the stairs with our flag, so I killed him, ran up and grabbed our flag, and then ran back to make the capture. For someone who is not very good at the game, it was epic. It helped that the other team wasn't very good and the only person who was good on the team was focused on getting kills, not actually playing.

Now I'm watching a livestream and taking forever to write this because of that. But I've got a headache so I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. A full night of sleep sounds pretty great right now.
