So I got a ton of yogurt today.
Plus popsicles and Diet Dr. Pepper obviously, but yogurt too.
Cause they had this like 10 for $1.00 or something of the sort.
It was thoroughly exciting.
That's how my day went, I was excited about yogurt.
But it's Greek so it's the good stuff.
Damn you, John Stamos.
I blame America's Greek yogurt fad on you.
That's really the only thing I remember from today.
I went to work.
It was fine.
Super slow.
Oh, the Library Judge and I talked about Mystery Men.
Which I love, but haven't seen in forever.
The Bowler was my favorite.
Think I'm gonna watch it tonight.
But right now I'm watching the Voice Blind Auditions.
Fast-forwarding to the artists that made it to the live rounds.
I can't believe Savannah is out, I'm pissed.
Anyway, on episode four having a marathon.
Since I don't have to go in until 4PM tomorrow.
So I'm SLEEPING IN! and then getting up around noon to finalize that project.
I'm not so excited about this week.
Yes it's the final week of the semester and it will be over, but I have to be online Monday, Wednesday and Friday night from 6-8 to present and listen to presentations.
Thankfully it's just for a week, but it's a big time commitment.
Especially because I don't get off until 6:05. So I have to take vacation, which is fine.
Monday I'm going to be late - but I told them that already - cause there's only 3 of us to close. Wednesday it'll be vacation but Friday I'm off all day!! Woohoo!
I'm guessing I'll present Friday.
Which is good for me because my other assignment is due Thursday.
But Megan says it doesn't take as long as all the others cause the answers are already there.
Huzzah for that.
Is anybody even watching that Hannibal show?
Sorry, commercial.
I'm seriously trying to think about stuff from today.
I updated the TAB website, added some photos of the party on Friday.
Sent out a reminder email about our meeting.
That they really need to come for if they're gonna do Library Golf cause they need to design their holes so we'll know what we're doing day-of.
What else....um....nope, nothing.
Oh, crazy lady semi-yelled at me but I talked my way out of it. She has a history of it, but it was a computer thing.
Not my fault.
Oh there was also this big huge event at the library that took over the first floor.
Asian-American Read-in.
But it was more of a cultural thing where kids danced and I guess there were singers and then at the end people read too.
So it was officially a Read-In.
I missed most of it cause I was on lunch and then upstairs.
But it sounded exciting.
Yep, that's all I got from today.
Aside from grocery shopping afterward and then watching The Voice.
Have to clean out my DVR cause of this week's 3 live episodes in a row.
Sophie's freakin' choice.
And you all know how much I hated that movie.
Besides the fact that it's uber depressing, it's also like 4 hours long.
And she chooses the wrong one.
No I actually don't remember who she chose, maybe it was the right one.
If there was a right one.
I've attempted to block it from my brain.
Excited for tomorrow as it's mostly a day off.
I don't mind going in for 2 hours, cause it wakes me up at a decent time and I can run errands and all that.
4-6, woohoo!
Alright, on to the music.
Little White Church - Little Big Town
love it.
I'm off.
Out for the night.
Have a good one.

Come All Together For You
Geez, you show up to work in matching socks and everyone goes crazy.
The last time I dressed up dressed up and I quote:
SLS: You look nice.
Me: Laundry day.
true dat, ran out of clean jeans.
And, to be fair, they haven't seen me there in almost weeks. Not for a full day at least. Tomorrow is another one of those few hours there and few hours at the other one days. But it's anything but boring.
So when I walk through the almost empty library at 3:25 and hear "Hey Hollywood!" I take it in stride. He used to call me "College". Still does when there are computer issues and he needs me to fix something. Even though we have a whole Virtual Services division for that. Again, I take it in stride. I can usually fix the problem anyway.
I was actually productive today. Shocker, I know. Shelved all morning, came home and took a nap - which is sort of productive...when you can't sleep the night before - ate lunch/supper, headed downtown, went back to work, registered for classes, watched NCIS on DVR, and now blogging here so that I can write my paper for class and submit it online before I crash and burn from the long day.
Sophie's Choice was made. Now it's all up to The Powers That Be. At this point I have nothing to lose.
Songs of the Day: Zenned-out zone
"Go On" Jack Johnson
definitely one of my favorite artists
"Boy With The Blues" Oasis
love it.
that's all she wrote...
EDIT:
Quote of the Day:
Second Sister: "U didnt even know it was february? U can at least pretend u knew the month! Goodness sakes we need to see each other more if this is where we stand. That is all there is to it. If i deliver this child on ur bday it will have to be ur favorite. That would be for certain."
now that's all she wrote.

I guess she’s an X-Box and I’m more an Atari
But the way you play your game ain’t fair.
True dat.
The writer monkey has struck again - keeping this semi-short so I can get back to that while the muse is still here.
I’m in a quandary. A Sophie’s Choice sort of situation. Sort of. I mean, I might be in one. It depends. There are two things that I might have to choose between. And it’s hard to choose between two things that mean a lot to you, you know? And it’s like Sophie’s Choice – except that Sophie’s Choice is long and depressing and then longer and more depressing and then you think it’s over but it’s actually not cause you’re only 2 hours in and haven’t even gotten to the part where she has to make the freaking choice let alone know what she’s freaking choosing about so you stick with it even though it gets even longer and even more depressing. Then! After she makes the choice it’s too painful to watch the rest of the movie – which is at least another half an hour long – so you change the channel and put on a comedy just to get those awful thoughts out of your head. Sorry Mom, I refuse to watch it ever again. Just no.
See, rambling, writer monkey, moving on.
SQUARE!
But this is a whole Might situation, maybe I won’t have to choose because you know there are other people out there who are smarter and qualified and all that… but still, it’s there, looming in the background. Now it just depends on what the Library Goddess has to say. After that it’s Superwoman and then me. But I have a few days to get it all figured out.
SQUARE!
You know how hard it is to be in 3 places at once? Today I was on the phone on the second floor while helping a patron on the first floor and checking other patrons out at the desk. I find that I’ve changed a lot since I’ve started working there just because it’s so hectic all the time and if I don’t know what I’m doing I have enough acting ability to pretend like I do. It’s like the me vs. qualified people thing again. I’m a Professional BS-er which really is just another term for “English Major”. I’m owning up to it. Before I was just a nerdy loner chick who ate lunch in her car. Oh don’t awww me, it’s better than the cliché lunch tray in the bathroom thing.
But it’s best if you seem confident in what you’re doing and remain positive, especially about the new system - it just makes us look bad if you bash it in front of the patrons. I use the words “quirks” as in “we’re still figuring out its quirks”, “wonky” as in “since we switched over the self-checks have been a bit wonky” and “we’re working on it” as in “we’re working on it” – well, “they’re working on it” a lot but it seems better than just bashing it and hoping to go back. Cause we’re not going back. I spend the majority of my downtown just figuring out shortcuts and doing random searches to see how best to navigate the catalog, but I’m a nerd like that.
And somebody! I ain’t mentioning names! Has branded me “Koha Whisperer” and 1-800’s me whenever there’s a problem. So I have to at least know a little bit about what I’m explaining. One of these days I’m just gonna write a handbook, print it off, highlight stuff and hang it around the desks. Then I can just walk by, point to a piece of paper and continue shelving.
But I like being the expert, it makes me feel useful, especially since I’m lowest on the food chain there. I don’t think I’ve ever been the expert on anything relevant to daily life. I mean other than movies, TV, music or anything Drew Barrymore. Which was daily life before I got the job. Jobs.
SQUARE!
So, remember how yesterday I ended with the whole gonna finish that freaking puzzle thing? And then of course I didn't finish the freaking puzzle, I watched a movie instead - my motivation can only last so long which is why I'm typing so fast in hopes that I'll keep working on that damn apartment story after posting this, where was I?
Oh right, well I'm glad I didn't finish it cause this morning I woke up and Carter had destroyed the whole freaking thing. Like there are pieces of it all over my living room. So yeah, either he's taking out his rage/energy on tiny chunks of cardboard because they're a stationary target or he's some sort of cosmic judge saying that I've taken too long to put together a "simple" 300 piece puzzle and now as punishment for putting it off I get total annihilation instead. Thanks dude.
Or maybe he just knows me well enough that he knows I'll keep putting it off and putting it off and eventually get tired of it being in the way so I'll put it back in the box and throw it in the corner anyway. So really, he could be saving me hassle in the future. Or he's a punk.
It's an either/or situation.
It's not actually.
I already know he's a punk. Much like my work friends already know I'm crazy. There's no either/or involved in that.

At least he's a cute punk. A big, fat, lazy, sleeps on my stomach, cute punk.

Songs of the day:
“Imagine” Glee version
This scene still makes me cry.
“Forget You” Glee version
Totally have been neglecting my Gwyneth’s One Name Campaign thing as in “that’s so Gwyneth!” - will have to start using that again. It’s pretty much the equivalent of Wicked Awesome.
Everyone can use some Gwyneth in their life. Especially now that school is starting again and all that. People are in this sort of mood. Like somber mood. Gonna shake them up with some Gwyneth. Maybe that'll be my slogan for the campaign. "Shake up your day with some Gwyneth." She does have a multi-million dollar music deal on the table. She will soon be gracing our radios - and my ipod - huzzah!
