I didn't get much sleep last night so thankfully today was a pretty gentle introduction to a new week.

When I got to work I was off desk for two hours. I spent the first part of that two hours refilling the tax booklets, the DVD display, and the audiobook display. I don't have the DVD display this month but it was running low, the librarian who has it wasn't coming in until noon, and the DVD display is easy.

I then got some feedback on my active shooter cheat sheet from my boss, who got some feedback from the assistant director, so I made a few changes. I then printed out several copies for my boss to take to the managers' meeting tomorrow. Hopefully that will lead to more feedback so we can get a final version made and distributed throughout the building. I then read articles until I was on desk.

I was on desk for two hours and the first hour was pretty quiet, and it was over before I knew it. The second hour picked up and I answered a lot of phone calls and helped the occasional patron. Most of my time, however, was spent reading library-related articles. And I nearly caught up with my backlog of articles that I get sent every day.

When I got back from lunch I had a walkthrough and then I disappeared upstairs to the cubicle for the rest of the day. I read a few articles, listened to music, and spent most of my time playing around with Twinery. It took a little while but it finally started to click with me again. You can do so much with it and I really wish I would stick with it and actually create something using it. I most likely won't, but you never know. I do feel ready for the workshop coming up. No one has signed up for it yet, and no one signed up for it the last time I offered it, so I'm not holding my breath. I'll survive, and maybe learn my lesson this time around.

When I got home I made rice and roasted vegetables. Having knowingly had both now, I feel fairly confident in saying Jasmine rice is better than Basmati rice. At least given my very limited sample size. So at some point I need to get more Jasmine rice. I also want to get more quinoa. It's been awhile since I've had it and I think that would be a good addition to my frequent rice and vegetable dinners.

I watched videos while I ate dinner and then I played CoD: WW2 for awhile. I've had better games, but I've also had worse, so I can't complain. I had fun, and that's what is important.

And now it is nearly midnight. Still sucking at getting a full night of sleep during the week.
