"Is it all sunsets and rainbows or did you throw up in your mouth a little?"

I knew when I slept through my alarm that this was gonna be an off day.

Woke up at 9:01.

Supposed to be at work at 9:05. Hit snooze too many times apparently.

So I called Superwoman who covered for me 'til I got there.

I got to shelve for a couple of hours today, ah flashbacks. Though shelving at the work branch is a lot less zen than at the home branch.

Mostly because there's more stuff, but also with the home branch I could tell you exactly where anything was without wandering around trying to find it. I knew which author was at the end of the row before you had to go to the other side because I shelved them every day.

Though now since they've shifted that's all changed.

But anyway, with the work branch there's so much stuff and I'm just not used to it so I have to go by signs - some of which are wrong, btw - so I'm scrambling and it took so much longer than I thought it would.

I only did fiction though, no nonfiction.

What's funny is that I know the nonfiction call number breakdowns because I can visual which subject is shelved where at the home branch. Like oh, that's there so that must be in the 741.5's. Could actually tell you the order of the general stuff from memory.

In fact I already did. Go here: Rockin' Reference with the Shelver's Curse

Though I do have an excuse to wander in the nonfiction since we just did a huge shift.

So now when I'm helping a patron I just look like an idiot going, it'll be this way, nope, sorry next row.

Where was I going with this?

Oh, I got to shelve.

It was fun though not the same.

After work went out with Oldest Sister and Squirt.

Things overheard at dinner
-"Evidently she's a whore."
-"But she's a nice whore."

-"Maybe they think Squirt's hot" about our waiter talking to his boss and looking at our table but not taking our order.

-"All my bitches are freshmen."

-"Is it all sunsets and rainbows or did you throw up in your mouth a little?"

Alright, early morning tomorrow meeting the Library Goddess so I'm out after these hits of 2012.

Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah.

Pics of the week: 

BEFORE: 9 carts

So we have these hours where we're scheduled in the "circ workroom" in which we check-in all the bookdrop and delivery items. This is what I walked into the other day.

Hour later: 0.5 carts

I left half a cart plus the new books cart for big brother as I didn't want to leave him with nothing.

But the new books cart takes forever cause you gotta change the status plus put them all out. So that could take an hour in itself, depending on how overloaded it is. And it was.



Oh the joys of the backroom.

My clean clothes.

Like three weeks worth of them.

In my gigantor closet.

My mother would be so proud of my organizational skills.

I'll get to it eventually.

I think I'm turning into a girl cause I'm running out of space.

Though to be fair a big portion of that is fun t-shirts.

And a random TV.

That works.

But I have a different one so now it just sits there.

I should probably do something with that as well.

So, today was good. Made a lot of progress on Food Drive stuff which is helpful as I'm off this weekend and it's supposed to start on Sunday. Basically, the plan is, put out the barrels, and hopefully the branches will have picked their volunteers to build the sculptures out of the items donated.

And if not they'll get assigned and just have to live with it for three weeks.

Fearless Leader and the New Girl volunteered at the work branch. They are both very artistic so I'm stoked. Boss's Boss's Boss is awarding the prizes this year, one for most creative, other for most items donated.

I have two judges so far, the Food Bank director and an artist. Still working on the third.

I'm hoping people get into it. If not it's just going to suck.

But we'll see I guess.

Last year there was a mass amount of food donated since we opened it up to the public. This year with all the hype about it perhaps it will gain even more.

Alright, need to sleep like immediately. Driving the Library Goddess to class tomorrow, meaning I have to be across town by 7AM. Meaning I'm up at 6AM cause I don't know where I'm going. I mean, I have the address but getting there might take a while.

And I'll need to be conscious. And you know, coherent. And perhaps communicable. Which doesn't happen often before 8AM. At camp perhaps, but that's cause there are children everywhere and I'm supposed to be in charge.

So I'm out for the night which means I need to switch from Dark Shadows to something I've seen and therefore won't need to stay up to see what happens.

Silence bugs me, no idea why. Even doing homework I have headphones in.

In honor of Leverage's soon to be released season four on DVD:

"Good Feeling"

love it.

Last class tomorrow, then I'm off for the weekend. Go see the boyfriend and buy some fireworks. Awesomeness.


i get a good feeling, yeah.

I get a good feeling, yeah

Falling asleep so yes this is short.

Well, it's official, TAB is out for the summer. Which means I have time to plan out some activities for the upcoming school year. Artwork is first to decorate the YA, after that I'm clueless, any suggestions?

I'll figure it out.

More projects maybe. Plan for upcoming events.

Eh.

I'll figure it out.

Just got home from Bubby's baseball game. They only won 15-4.

Which is an "only" since last game they won 25-0 and the one before that was 24-1.

Bubby was great, played catcher, 1st base and shortstop.

I think their power is in their pitchers, they're great. Accurate and fast.

And amusing, they're only 12.

Makes me look forward even more to the opening game for CWS. Wonder who will be playing. Gotta check into that. Figure out who I want to root for. But it'll be a while. Last year's was highly entertaining, mimosa's for breakfast, lots of booths and t-shirts. I'm stoked.

Before the game was homework - I'm done for Tuesday but I'll finish Thursday's tomorrow night. Wednesday is Valentino's with the family so gotta start it early.

And of course work 9-6. Tomorrow I'm at the home branch for the money, huzzah! I get to sleep in a whole extra five minutes. Which doesn't seem like a lot but it feels like it when you're half asleep.

So that's the plan for tomorrow, work, homework...that's all I got.

"Good Feeling" Flo Rida

i wondered who sang this song, but i'd never listened all the way through. now i got it.

Been listening to XM a lot cause it's a free trial to draw you in. It might be working. I'm liking the no commercial thing. And the comedy channel is highly amusing. Plus the prime country channel brings back some good memories.

But then they're stuck in my head.

We'll see.

Tomorrow's Word of the Day: "Flexanimous: an adjective meaning 'having the power to influence, moving, affecting.' It comes from Latin words meaning 'bend' and 'mind'. 



alright, out for the night. more tomorrow.
