Last night I got eight hours of sleep and woke up before my alarm. I got up earlier than I did yesterday so I had time to watch some videos and click around the internet for awhile before running on the elliptical and getting ready.

Today was another day at work where I felt like I didn't really accomplish much. I had two walkthroughs when I first arrived and I ran into my friend's sister and her baby. I run into my friend's dad on a regular basis but this was the first time I've run into his sister. I held the baby several months ago when he was maybe a month or two old. He is huge now. She said he's in the 96^th percentile for height. Or length? I don't know at what age it goes from length to height. Either way, he's getting big.

After the walkthroughs I was on desk for two hours and I mostly just read news articles and library-related articles. I also helped a few patrons with printing and email stuff, and answered a lot of phone calls. Then I was off desk for an hour and looked up articles and videos for Getting Over It and game theory.

When I got back from dinner I played Getting Over It for awhile so I could get a feel for the game again. I managed to get the highest I've ever been, but I don't know that's saying much because it's only the third time I've played. And I'm awful.

I had two walkthroughs and then I set up for my video game discussion. And then I played for half an hour before calling it quits because no one showed up. Kind of disappointing, although also a bit fitting, playing a game about frustration while becoming frustrated about real life. I really want the video game discussions to be a thing but they don't happen regularly enough and I don't think they are promoted well enough. I think this program would appeal to the demographic we're going for but I don't think the demographic we're going for knows this program exists. There is one more discussion scheduled for this semester and it may be the last one because if I can't get anyone to show up I'll have a hard time justifying future discussions.

The rest of the evening was uneventful. I handled a few emails, read a bit of an unreleased book, and that was it. When I got home I ate some Oreos to make up for my disappointment, and then ordered flowers for Valentine's Day for my Mom and sister. And now it is getting late so I'm going to record my audio journal and go to bed. I'm apparently off desk for five hours tomorrow. I might start pulling my weeded books because I don't really have anything else I want to do. Although I could start on my homebound lists. We'll see.
