This morning before work I watched One Direction music videos. I
don't know why, but I was in the mood. Then, on my drive to work, I
listened to Sevendust, Rage Against The Machine, and Nonpoint. I
also needed that.
I spent my first two hours of work upstairs. I initially went up
there just to call a couple homebound patrons. Neither of them
wanted books last month and I wanted to see if they were ready for
new ones. Neither of them wanted books. A third patron also doesn't
want new books, so this month I'm only taking books to two patrons.
Nineteen books is quite a difference from when I was taking out over
sixty each month. On the plus side, it's much less stressful.
While upstairs I also listened to a little Christmas music, read news
articles, and started watching a webinar about homelessness. In
their intro video I saw a picture of our tech classroom. I thought
that was kind of strange and sent a screenshot to my boss. I then
did a generic image search and the picture was in the first row of
results, but it was connected to a library in Ohio, who was using it
on their website. I then did a reverse image search and found out
that it is being used by dozens of different websites. It is really
strange. The picture itself isn't even that great, so there must be
a massive shortage of tech classroom pictures.
I was on desk for two hours before lunch and was able to finish up my
homebound stuff, which involved pulling two books and making a few
bookmarks. I also helped a patron print Facebook messages, read news
articles, answered a couple chat questions and phone calls, and
talked to my coworkers.
After lunch I three hours of walkthroughs. Well, a walkthrough at
the beginning of the hour from two to four o'clock. In between the
walkthroughs I read library magazines and was finally able to finish
all of them. I haven't been completely done with magazines in
months. It will probably be short-lived but it feels pretty good.
I also went down to the mail room to let the UPS guy in so he could
pick up some boxes. And then, not long after that, a patron came up
and was interested in books about the history of UPS. It was kind of
crazy.
I got a free book in the mail today from the virtual library
conference I kind of attended last week or the week before. It's an
pre-release copy of Warcross by Marie Lu. The book actually
came out in September, but a free book is a free book. And it sounds
right up my alley, along the lines of .Hack and Ready
Player One and Sword Art Online. I hope I actually get
around to reading it.
On my way home I stopped at Walgreens and Jo-Ann, and then got gas.
While I ate dinner I watched YouTube videos, and then I played a
little bit of CoD: WW2. I played a few rounds of Hardcore TDM
because one of my daily orders was to get fifteen shotgun kills. I
thought it would be easier in a Hardcore match because I would be
more likely to get one-shot kills. I did horribly because I kept
getting big maps that weren't very well suited for shotguns. I did
have the thought that Hardcore would be a good place to farm one-shot
kills for sniper rifle camos. I don't know if I still have any of
those to get. Anyway, after that I played a game of War on Operation
Griffin and redeemed myself by coming in first place. Over both
rounds I had sixty-one kills, thirty-one defends, four builds, five
demolitions, and I returned the gas to the tank one time. At one
point I also got at least a triple kill with one clip on my SMG. It
was awesome. It was also surprising because when we started the
game, and until the middle of the second section, my team only had
three people on it and the other team had five or six. It felt good.
I ended the night by watching Elf, which is my first Christmas
movie of the year (not counting Psych: The Movie. I figure I
can binge them this weekend but I wouldn't mind trying to get some of
them in throughout the week.
And now, we're creeping up on midnight, so I'm going to record my
audio journal and go to bed.
