February 9, 2018

Today as incredibly uneventful. I woke up, ran on the elliptical, got ready, and went to work. And my day was almost entirely filled with weeding. I was off desk for the first two hours so I headed out to the stacks with the first half of my list. I made it through the first three sections, which was a pretty decent start. I'm not looking inside every book but I am checking every book against my list, regardless of whether or not I have marked them for weeding, just to make sure the books are there and that the call numbers are right.

I was on desk for two hours after that and I mostly messed with my weeding. I withdrew all the books I had pulled but not before looking through several of them because I'm easily distracted by interesting books. There were two books of random facts, and I learned that clocks run “clockwise” because they were invented in the northern hemisphere, where sundials go right to left, not left to right. Or at least that's one theory. There was also a book on alien abduction, written by a psychologist, that offered techniques for figuring out if you had been involved in a close encounter. Yet another example that gives me confidence that even I can write a book and get published some day.

After my lunch break I had a walkthrough and then I headed back out to the stacks. I was out there for about three hours (because I was off desk for the rest of the day) and I made it through one-hundred pages, which got me through an entire row of shelves. I stopped at 5:30PM so I would have time to withdraw all the books, which I had to do on the computer down in circulation because there was too much happening at the desk. I also had just enough time to refill my DVD display. So yeah, five hours of weeding. That was basically my day.

On my way home I picked up Jimmy John's and Sonic for dinner, similar to what I did however long ago that was. I don't want it to become a habit but it gave me something to look forward after this long week.

I watched videos while I ate and then played CoD: WW2 for awhile. There seemed to be some lag issues throughout the night but overall I had a pretty good night. I found my groove in Domination and had a couple games where my team won and I finished in first place. I still think I will get my ass handed to me more often than not if the teams aren't balanced (or aren't weighted in my favor) but it was fun tonight. I also had some good games of War. In one of them I joined during the second half and the other team was obviously way better. It was Operation Breakout and we didn't get anywhere close to capturing the first objective until the last minute when they moved back to the next objective. There were just wanting to boost their XP but I was cool with it because I like playing the game and it can be annoying when you just want to play but then it's over after the first objective. I was also trying to finish a contract and a daily order, which I was able to do during the next objective. By the end of it we lost, but I ended up on the top of the leaderboard, even above the guys on the other team who were really good, probably because I was playing the objective, building things, destroying things, planting bombs, and that adds a decent amount of points. Anyway, the point is I had fun, which is always the goal.

And now it is almost two o'clock in the morning because I was watching videos while writing this. I'll never learn.
