Last night I didn't get much sleep, once again, but I think I slept better. The sheets are still weird, but maybe I'll get used to them.

When I got to work I was off desk for an hour and a half (because I got to work half an hour later than usual to make up for working the upcoming weekend. Overall, it was a weird day. It's been a weird week. I have been feeling a bit listless at work lately. And possibly in life. But work is the annoying thing at the moment because I want to be doing things when I'm there but I feel like I'm just getting through the day. I need a win. Anyway, in that hour and a half off desk I watched usability videos and read a couple articles.

I watched more usability videos during my two hours on desk. I also answered phone calls. One guy who called was named Jay Blue, so on the caller ID it said Blue Jay. That made me chuckle. I also helped a lady with digital library things and recommended a nearby restaurant to a couple people meeting at the library today.

Halfway through the morning I discovered we were actually doing the birthday food thing today for the librarian whose birthday is tomorrow. I had told my sister I needed pretzels tomorrow, whoops. I texted her and she said she thought she would have time to make them, and she was right. She had to make them at my Mom's house because her oven had a bit of a meltdown, but that worked out well for me because she was still finishing them up when I got there for lunch and they were ready to go by the time I had to leave.

When I got back to work I had a walkthrough and then I watched more usability videos, because that was pretty much my day. I also talked to my coworker. And then I was on desk again and watched even more usability videos.

I didn't move anywhere but I was technically off desk for the next hour. A decent chunk of that was spent talking to the teen librarian who stopped by to talk to my boss about something, but my boss was busy, and the teen librarian had almost instantly forgotten what she wanted to talk to my boss about.

We celebrated the librarian's birthday after that and it was pretty fun. The pretzels went over really well, as usual. We don't do the food stuff for my birthday, because I wouldn't eat any of it, but if I remember I want to bring in the pretzels for everyone else.

I had another walkthrough, finished watching usability videos (I made it through two hundred videos today), talked to one of my coworkers about Black Mirror, and waited for time to slowly pass by.

I picked up Chipotle after work and headed to my Mom's house. My sister and her husband were around half an hour late, but they did eventually make it. We ate dinner, talked, and then watched videos.

I made it home a little after eight o'clock and now I'm going to record my audio journal so I can go to bed. I have to wake up early for my much-needed haircut. I'm not looking forward to waking up but maybe I'll get to take a nap before work.
