December 12, 2017

 Well December is flying by. Once again another month is disappearing.

This morning I woke up after about six and a half hours of sleep, laid in bed for awhile, got up and ironed my pants, got ready, and went to work. I hit the lights just right on my way and got to the library a few minutes early even though I left a few minutes late. Not bad.

I did all the usual opening stuff, including sharpening a bunch of pencils, which I haven't done in quite awhile because I had sharpened all the pencils we had.

When we opened I was on desk for two hours. I was supposed to have the first two hours off desk but one of the librarians called in sick so the schedule had to be shifted around a bit. I spent that time reading news articles, re-formatting my room schedule template because I got confused with the saving of it last time apparently. I also got the briefest of starts on homebound stuff. I had an uneventful walkthrough after that and eventually went to dinner.

After lunch I went upstairs for two hours and read the last two chapters of the book we have been slowly reading and discussing at our department meetings. It's a good book with some good information but I'll be honest, it has taken us so long to get through it that I have forgotten pretty much all of it. Including what I read today. That might say more for my memory than the amount of time it has taken to read the book.

I was on desk for an hour following that and that hour completely disappeared. At one point I looked up and thirty-eight minutes had gone by and it felt like maybe five minutes had gone by. It was really weird. I helped a couple patrons through email, read a couple articles, and kind of worked on my homebound stuff.

I ended the day with a walkthrough. After the walkthrough I sent an email, made a brief post on our department blog, and started looking through another library magazine from my stack. And then the day was over.

After work I stopped by Target to get peanut butter and tortillas, and then headed home. With my night I ate dinner, watched YouTube videos, and played CoD: WW2. I encountered another blatant hacker. It was on Operation Neptune and he was headshotting people through all objects, with pistols and smgs from across the map. He was bragging about how many times he has been banned, which is kind of annoying because you'd hope once would be enough. My team stopped playing, reported him, and then just chatted amongst ourselves while we waited for time to run out. Other than that experience, I had a lot of good games. I got in the top three several times, which is not a frequent occurrence.

It is now after 12:30AM because I've been distracted by 8 Out Of 10 Cats while writing this. I don't work until noon tomorrow but I have to wake up early for furnace servicing. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
