Aw, Shamy.
I love Big Bang Theory.
And Amy Farrah Fowler.
She makes me laugh.
She's still in the Penny is weird phase. I'm trying to figure out what changes her mind into labeling Penny as her "bestie".
Can't remember, been a while since I've watched. I haven't seen anything from this season at all. Is Wolowitz still up in space?
I should really look into that.
Today was crazy.
9-1 with volunteers at the library. We cleaned all the computers and dusted first floor and half of second.
After which I helped out at the desk, and headed out to G-Town for the camp meeting.
This year's theme is "Back to the Scripture" - a play on Back to the Future.
We do a lot of "play on" themes. There was Fear Can Never Factor In, Mission Possible, Extreme Makeover: God's Edition, Survivor In Christ, and last year's Be Transformed. Plus various others.
Stoked for this year.
Gonna have some fun skits to go with the theme.
Though I'll be sticking with the HeeHaw stuff for the older ones.
Gonna have to dig up some more verses.
So nice doing those in the air conditioning.
Definitely makes a difference, plus this year they're giving us a flat rate so we're saving like 1500 bucks.
Double bonus.
And I got the software for the website so gonna have to brush up on my HTML.
I've been put in charge cause I'm the only one of us who knows HTML.
Should be interesting.
Have a feeling I'm gonna go flailing to Boss's Boss's Boss's Assistant, aka my ex-professor who taught it to me last semester.
Aw man, it's storming again.
Carter is not pleased.
Don't think he's a fan of thunderstorms.
Not that I blame him.
It's been super stormy here in Nebraska.
Granted not as severe as other parts of the US, but like every other day there's some sort of weather warning.
Today was up in the 60's which is probably why it's storming out.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, camp.
So yes, went over notes from last year, updated the application forms, added some promotional stuff on Facebook, am excited to do the website, but a bit nervous.
I'm sure I'll ramble more about that later.
We'll meet up again in May to send out forms.
There was a good number of teen helpers there last year, and we actually divided them up into two groups - well, the ones we didn't stick in cabins - but the rest did games one day and then kitchen the next so that they both got to work in the air conditioning at some point.
And we're sticking with that cause it seemed to go over well.
Gonna be short on lifeguards this year, should be interesting. I'm hoping that Megz can make it at least one day. If not we're gonna be royally screwed.
Trying to brainstorm ideas for time fillers if we can't take them tubing.
They love it but we can't go if the water is too high or too low.
We used to do counselor hunts instead, where basically the counselors would hide and their campers would have to find them.
I remember once our counselors wore camo and hid up in the trees.
Like up up in the trees. Took us forever to find them.
Someone once buried themselves in sand.
That couldn't have been comfortable.
Though my favorite was when a certain someone hid on top of the old cafeteria and then fell through the roof.
Don't look at me like that, it wasn't me.
Still funny though.
The new building is too high to climb on.
Sad day.
One year we had them do extra crafts but that was expensive.
Maybe a scavenger hunt would be good, but then we'd have to come up with one involved enough that it would take up a whole afternoon.
It takes like 4 hours for all the tubing festivities cause we leave at 1 and then usually don't get back until like 4 and cleaned up by 5. And then it's time for the younger kids to eat already.
So there's a lot of time to cover.
Ideas?
Anyway, I love our core group and the Music Mentor was able to make it, along with Scuba Steve, Blackstone and Obi-Wan. We had our usual icecream and joked around a bit.
After the meeting I headed out to the farm to jam with the parentals.
Who then ditched me for supper - joking, I left anyway.
But it's going to be their 48th anniversary so they're celebrating.
Didn't realize it had been that long.
Didn't remember my sister was that old.
Don't tell her that, I'd get smacked.
No, she's not old. Cause that would mean 17 years from now I'll be old and that ain't happening.
Actually I feel old now. Especially today after working with all those college kids. But I had Superwoman there to help me wrangle them.
I'm zonked.
The boyfriend is stuck in Sacramento. The train that's supposed to be there like now is delayed cause it derailed. No idea when they'll get out of there. Bummed for him cause they made big plans for tomorrow in Seattle. Hoping it doesn't take too long.
Alright, gonna watch some more Big Bang and crash at some point soon.
Back to work tomorrow.

oh baby, baby, it's a wild world.
Tried a breakfast burrito at my usual coffee joint this morning.
I'd say about a 3/10 on the foodie Scale of Awesome.
Will skip that at all future opportunities.
Stick with my cinnamon roll.
Or chocolate muffin.
Those are good too.
So that's how my day started.
Crappy spicy sausage breakfast burrito with hot coffee to go with it so it was like hotness overload.
Which made the coffee taste semi-gross but it's okay because it actually kept me awake since I left the apartment at 6:30.
Oh yeah, I woke up at like 6:25, got dressed and left the apartment in 5 minutes.
That's my rock star morning sequence where everything is literally laid out for me the night before because I know waking up any time before 10AM means I won't be coherent enough to make sure things match.
Plus no lights are turned on in this apartment before 8AM.
Too bright.
Anyway, so left at 6:30, got coffee a little before 8, had class from 8:30-about 11ish. I love my professor, we're scheduled to go until 12:30, but since all the other sections are just like 2 hours she's letting us out way early.
And today was more of a work day, which is good cause I'm so behind on the HTML thing.
We're building websites, which I already told you, but I'm making a camp one - even though I already have a professional one - because it's literally the only thing I'm an expert on and I have 80 millions forms, pictures, and word docs on it.
After class was the Husker game. I listened to it and read the chats - there's one on the Journal Star website for every game that's highly entertaining.
Really gotta break down and get the Big Ten Network.
Eh, I'll watch it when I go home, Mom taped it for me.
So, this is what happens when you're up by 35 by the end of the first quarter.
and the rest of the game was a bit like that since the final score was 73-7.
Not really fair, but we'll take it.
I actually have my own video of the wave from a couple years back, will have to upload it.
Huskers rock, and Burkhead's back in full force.
I probably could have went home to watch it today but then I couldn't have taken my wicked awesome nap afterward.
I miss naps.
Naps rock.
Add to cart.
Okay, more class tomorrow though this one is a bit later.
Thankfully.
So, I should be off to bed now as it is more like 3AM than the 11:50PM this entry will say it is.

"Why aren't you in the upper balcony?"
Moment of the day:
Walked into the professors office and went, "Whoa. I interviewed here."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
I'll get there in a minute.
Day like any other, woke up, went to work, updated the website, checked in a bunch of stuff cause there was no delivery yesterday. I'm starting to realize we took our old delivery guy for granted. Uh, what else? Oh did some major supplies stuff cause apparently I was way behind on that. Copied some application forms, used the guillotine chopper thing, then checked in even more stuff.
It was funny because - okay we have like a daily schedule and we have specific places to be each hour - and today it was like 2nd floor, PS2, circ workroom, Lab desk, then lunch, then I had like circ workroom, holds, off desk, and then ended at Youth Services so my afternoon was like on my own time. It was fantastic. I checked in a bunch of stuff but there were like 4 other people scheduled to be back there in the afternoon so most of my time was spent on supplies and volunteer stuff.
Trying to come up with a list of stuff to do for volunteers who can't shelve. I have a lady coming in on Tuesday and the only things I can think of that she might be interested in is cleaning displays and maybe edging shelves. Cause she'll be a long term adult volunteer and I'm guessing things like sharpening pencils and sorting colored strips will be of little interest to her.
Ideas?
So after work I headed over to one of our other branches because my professor is the branch manager there. I walk in her office and go whoa. Flashbacks. Cause that's where I interviewed to make the temp job permanent. The first interview I did, well that was with Queen of the Known Universe and Super Librarian Status in the basement of the work branch. Immediately following that was with my Glee-Loving Boss and Girlscout at the home branch. Third came with Superwoman in her office and that was for the 20 hour summer temp job. Then the library judge - as he now goes by - took some time off so I stayed 'til October and that's when they decided they needed two more people - one at the work branch and one at the branch I went to tonight - so they panel interviewed me basically in that office and I got the work branch job.
Which was my preference.
Then they panel interviewed me again - same people, different office this time it was back to Superwoman's - to make the 20 hours permanent turn into 40 hours permanent.
Anyway, I was like, "i interviewed in this office" and she was totally lost cause I don't currently work there.
She rocks. For serious.
Like, we were supposed to have class on Saturday but I couldn't make it, which was okay because originally there was no class scheduled that day and when they added a different one they said we could meet with her to make up for it if we couldn't make it. Since I had the wedding I chose to go to that and just meet with her later. The class on Saturday was supposed to go 8:30-2:30. I got off work at 6:05 tonight, got there at about 6:20, I think we were done by 7:40.
But it's all html stuff. Actually it's pretty cool, by the end of the assignment I'll be able to type this entire thing on html instead of switching back and forth between that and composition mode. Would make my life a bit easier, but I'll have to learn all the codes. Or learn to copy and paste them from the tutorial websites they gave us links to.
I remember we built our own websites in high school, but that was like sophomore year Computer Applications with Tutor Bode like 5 years ago. I remember something about typing in specific numbers for colored texts and backgrounds but for the life of me I don't remember what they were. I do remember building a sweet house with an awesome colorful dance floor, plus some flyers for a party with my fellow PEUBH Juwanna.
Cause we were the Popular Evil Ugly Bitchy Hags.
Don't ask.
It's a roommate thing.
We had a lot of those.
Alright, I'm aware that this post was a complete and utter waste of your time and I'm totally boring and about to get more boring cause the second I log off here I'm back to homework.
So watch this, it will make up for all of my boringness.
Finesse Mitchell talks about Prince
"why are ya'll up there?"
"how the hell you get down there?"
"forget all that, can you get to me in case something go on down here?!"
Watch it, you'll love it.
Shout out of the day: To you, unshaven young dude with the white t-shirt and baggy jeans running through traffic to make it to the parking garage. I know you thought the chick you passed was good looking and had to turn around to take another look but you almost got ran down by a bus so perhaps you should watch where you're going instead of leering at strangers.
And that's all I got. Have a good one.
