This morning I left a little late for work, but that's normal. And then I hit nearly every single red light on the way to work. It was almost comical.

When I got to work I ran around a little bit getting everything collected for the outreach event today. I got the wagon with all the stuff to put on the table, picked up the van key, got the credit card for the parking garage, and printed more adulting flyers. And then we left so we could be set up at the university library by ten o'clock.

I dropped the two circulation people off close to the library and then went and parked in the parking garage. By the time I got back across campus to the library everything had been set up so then we just waited for the horde. And it never really came. Our shift was done at one o'clock and we had only signed up fourteen people. The second group was there until three o'clock and they only signed up thirteen people. Last semester we got around sixty people, so this time around wasn't nearly as impressive, but it could have been worse.

When we got back to the library I returned the van keys and then went to lunch. After lunch I had a walkthrough and ended up talking to the teen librarian for about forty-five minutes. As per usual, it was mostly library-related. I left after a barbershop quartet walked in to sing to a couple kids.

I was on desk for two hours after that. I caught up on news articles, filled out my timesheet, and then spent the rest of the time working on a draft of the new tech page design. I got the main part done and got a start on playing with how to show the upcoming classes.

After work I picked up Chipotle and headed to my Mom's house for dinner. My Mom and my sister both got the flowers I had delivered earlier in the day, and both really liked them. I went with the a different florist this year and I think they did a really good job. After dinner we watched videos and my Mom gave my sister and me stuff for Valentine's Day. This stuff included a green cast iron pot, so that's pretty cool. Now I can make cast iron pot things. Also, my sister made me pitas with artichoke hummus. I ate some with dinner and I ate more when I got home because it's really good.

I got home around 9:30PM, caught up on internet things, watched some videos and livestreams, and now I'm writing this. It's midnight and I'm tired so I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. I ended up going with the white noise on my sound machine last night but I muffled it quite a bit to lower the pitch of it, and that didn't seem too bad. Tomorrow I don't go in until 1:30PM, so I'm looking forward to sleeping in.
