Last night I got nearly nine hours of sleep and it was fantastic. I feel like that might be my usual description for a good, long night of sleep, but it remains accurate.

I slept through the morning and went to work at noon. It was an interesting day, but not in the sense of being actually interesting. It was interesting in the sense of being uneventful. I think that was to compensate for the fact that last night at the library the FBI stopped by and an ambulance had to be called for a pregnant woman. We met our quota for interesting for the the week.

I had a couple walkthroughs when I got to work and refilled my DVD display. I got feedback from the teen librarian on the bookplate designs I made, printed out the favorite, trimmed them up, and got them put in the books. They turned out pretty well.

I got four more boxes of the 1040 tax form instruction books to go along with the one I already had. So I have those and the 1040EZ form, which isn't that helpful. Despite that I decided to put up the display today because I'm kind of tired of all the questions about it. I still think circulation will have to deal with more questions about the stuff that is missing but whatever. Something else shipped today and should be here next week so hopefully it's something we don't already have. I had time after my dinner break so I put everything together on a table down by circulation. It will have to be rearranged when we get more stuff but I thought keeping it small would maybe distract from what is lacking.

I helped patrons throughout the day but seemed to have more non-helpful outcomes than I would have liked. The most memorable being the discovery that our state doesn't make a driver's license handbook in Spanish. I still find that hard to believe. It seems like everything under the sun now comes with instructions in twelve different languages, and we can't have something as important as a driver's license handbook in Spanish? Seems a little ridiculous.

The night passed without incident. I helped a couple kids with printing but other than that I messed with the website and read articles. I learned that the fastest playthrough of the game Getting Over It is less than two minutes, but the average playthrough is apparently around five hours or something. Crazy. I don't plan on ever finishing the game but it's nice to know it's possible. This is all relevant to work, by the way. I'm a professional.

When I got home I ate some popcorn and other snacks because a four o'clock dinner doesn't really sustain you through the end of the day. I also watched videos and clicked around the internet. At the moment I have switched over to music because this was taking too long to write. And now I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed because I have a headache behind my left eye and my bed, as always, sounds very inviting.
