This morning I woke up before my alarm went off and watched videos
for awhile before running on the elliptical, taking a shower, eating
lunch, and going to work. The first thing I did when I got to work
was go upstairs so I could call one of my homebound patrons, who had
called and left a message for me. On my way to our cubicle I stopped
to talk to the teen librarian about the adulting class tonight. One
person had registered, so we decided to cancel it. No offense to
that person, but one person isn't enough to warrant police officers,
firefighters, and a fire truck (unless there's an actual emergency,
obviously). Later on I learned that the one patron who had
registered was only coming because they needed to watch and write
about a presentation for a class assignment, so in my mind it was
less for us and more for her class. I did, however, recommend a
presentation on Thursday happening at the library, trying to be
helpful because I did actually feel bad that we had to cancel.
When I made it to the cubicle I called my homebound patron, and then
I worked on updating the webpage for today's tech class. And then I
was on desk for two hours. After emailing the patron about the
canceled class I made a post on the staff blog letting everyone know
the class had been canceled. I didn't get any responses to my
earlier post about the class, so I was fairly confident no one was
interested, but just in case anyone planned on stopping by at the
last minutes. I ended up including a GIF of David Tennant as the
Doctor, looking sad, standing in the rain. I thought about using one
of Charlie Brown saying “I don't think anyone likes me” or one of
Bill Murray saying “Well, I want to die”, but I thought that
would be a little too dark. Funny, but dark. I also resisted being
super snarky. I have my moments of restraint in writing. When I was
done with that I updated my homebound list for this month with
requests sent by one of my patrons, and I formatted the new
interlibrary loan book kit list and updated the link for it on our
website.
I was off desk for an hour before my dinner break and spent most of
that time reading a library article about VR and talking to my
coworkers. After dinner I was on desk for an hour and was able to
finish the VR article, which just makes me want to dive back into my
idea for creating an augmented reality app for the library. I also
spent that hour helping patrons, talking to my coworkers, and sending
an email.
I had two walkthroughs after that and then the rest of the night was
open due to the canceled class. Most of that time was spent trying
to catch up on attendance and feedback information for tech classes.
I didn't make it very far on the feedback front but I made decent
progress. I also read some news articles, because I hadn't really
looked at the news today. Oh, and I wrote a post on our department
blog about finding the old articles this weekend using the Wayback
Machine.
When I got home I logged into CoD: WW2 just to get my daily
log in reward, and there was an update. The new theme for the rest
of the month is St. Patrick's Day, and it's awesome. There is a
giant golden mug in the middle of the Headquarters, pots of gold,
clovers, and other random decorations all over the place. There are
also new uniforms, emblems, and weapon camos with green and clover
themes to unlock. I'm a big fan of green, and love St. Patrick's Day
just because it gets people to wear green, so this event is awesome.
And I have even more incentive to play now, trying to unlock all of
the cool green stuff.
Following that, I ate a snack, watched videos, and got distracted by
the internet for awhile. And now I'm going to record my audio
journal and go to bed.
