 I got a full eight hours of sleep last night and it was pretty great. I woke up feeling rested, which is a rare occurrence. I spent my morning watching videos and clicking around the internet before getting reading, eating lunch, and leaving for work at 12:05PM, which was the correct time, unlike yesterday.

I got to work slightly early and was able to count the drawer fairly quickly thanks to the fact that I got all the change yesterday. There was actually quite a bit extra that I had to put in the safe. After that I turned on a bunch of computers and checked email before we opened.

We were doing the exam thing again today so I made coffee. It sat there all day. No one drank it. When I was cleaning it up I tried it again. It's not gross but it's not good. It still smells really good but it's not something I want to acquire a taste for. I also singed my tongue a little bit. Not to the point of burning it but to the point of being aware of it. Kind of annoying.

Most of my day was spent working on my catalog tutorial, with occasional breaks to read news articles or make a few formatting tweaks to my room schedule template. I made decent progress on the tutorial. I'm almost through the slides covering tips for searching and then I'll move onto account stuff. I think this will definitely be a tutorial that needs to be split up into at least a couple because it's covering a lot of information.

And that was my day at work, along with occasionally helping a patron and talking to coworkers. Most of the day went my excruciatingly slowly. There were a couple times where I thought I was going to fall asleep at the desk, and I wasn't even tired, it was just warm and quiet and nothing was going on.

After work I went to my Mom's house and we went to the Chinese buffet for her belated birthday dinner. My sister's husband apparently found someone throwing up in the bathroom sink and I'm hoping it was related to a previous illness and not something they ate at the buffet.

We went back to the house afterward for cake, ice cream, and presents. My sister also gave my Mom and I her yearly homemade Christmas card and it is really impressive. Among other things, the front is embossed with snowflakes. It's cool.

I got home sometime after nine o'clock and spent the rest of the night watching 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, YouTube videos, and livestreams, and clicking around the internet. I thought about playing CoD: WW2 but I didn't. I'll play tomorrow. Probably. Before and/or after I go install my Mom's new doorbell.
