Today was crazy, it was 6:00 already and it felt like I had just got there.
I love my job.
So, I finished my Christmas shopping!
Which you probably scoffed at, but hey we aren't having our family Christmas until the 1st.
Ran into both a high school friend and college one in the process. Grateful to be done with those yet apparently masochistic since I'm going back voluntarily.
I don't need the degree as I already have the job, but it's actually proven to be quite helpful in my daily life.
Freakin' Shackleton.
Tomorrow is another ordinary day.
Which is weird, I'm so used to un-ordinary ones traveling back and forth. This is simple and easy. I like it.
Recs of the night:
These are the first in a series I'm going to call "Songs you know but forgot you knew them", or SYKBFYKT for short.
Yes, that's the short version.
"All You Wanted" Michelle Branch
yes, a lot of my alphabet rec's came from her, so it's not all that surprising i'm bringing her back. this is the song that started it all, it started playing and I was like, when did this come out? and why do i know it?
hence the songs you know but forgot you know them.
so you can blame this new segment on michelle branch.
but you shouldn't cause she's awesome. as are the wreckers, my favorite aside from lily allen.
i think it's more like they have one big smash hit and then smaller ones that aren't as big but are still semi-big so you know them too, just don't remember them like you do the big hit.
"Girlfriend" Nsync
this video amuses me on so many levels
there's a lot of 90's and early 00's in this list.
more later.
out!

"You need a plan, Shackleton."
Victory! T-Magic needs to work on his passing before next week against Wisconsin, but I'll take the win. Defense seems to have improved, although their freshman quarterback was very impressive. Burkhead rocked it. End of story.
Class today was fun. I sat in my back corner and drank my coffee. Got a muffin today as well, it was delightful. We did a lot of discussion about Shackleton's Way - which is our text for the semester - and we had to get up in a line and do the whole talk to the person across from you thing. Bear in mind it's only like 8:30 so when we have to move to the next person in line I'm like doing the locomotion or dancing of some sort and the dude next to me was cracking up about me getting my "groove" on. Yeah...This is me staying awake before 10AM. Happens daily. You should see me in the morning as an Aide. Play nice or you will wear my latte.
No, I like that guy. He was a discussion partner in my last class with the library goddess - he sat with us in the back corner. But that class was packed with undergrads, this one only has a few. And now I get to jam with David, who I had my first class with. It's cool seeing the usual crowd. I guess we do actually live in a small world of librarians.
I enjoy this class. The professor is amusing, although she's ditching us next class for her daughter's wedding. We get to mix in with the Library Goddess's school librarian section of the class. I think it's the same class, just public vs. academic. Which means more coffee. I brought hers today and she gave me a hug. I spoil her.
And I'll get to present an infographic that I'm still debating on. They look sweet, but time consuming. We get to present on demographics and I'm guessing the typical presentation is going to be some sort of visual representation of the gender, age, race, education, etc. of the average patron that comes in. But I already kind of know that stuff just from working there. So it's old news. I'm thinking demographics of lost items would be interesting, but no idea how I'd get that information. But that's the beauty of already working in a library...you have genius coworkers with all the answers. I have a month to put it together. Well, actually no, it's due on the 6th of October. sort of. online. I present it next class, whenever that is, sometime in Ocober. Around a month from now. Therefore the graphic is due on the 6th but the speech to go with it is due in a month.
Quotes of the day:
- "Just don't be a D-bag."
- "That's your mission statement?"
this is the dude that laughed at my dancing. that's his life code, awesome.
- "So my answer to your question...isn't really an answer to your question..."
- "It was another question."
the joys of going round and round in discussion, this was david.
- "Unless he was quelling their rebellion by boring them to death."someone's comment of joy about the diary of a certain one of shackleton's crew members
- "Yeah, but there's a difference between that and forgetting to put sauce on a big mac!"
this chick is married to a military officer so they were talking about discipline and then this other dude's former boss was an officer and flipped out at this dude at mcdonalds for messing up his order. somehow that mistake got tied to officers making mistakes and having consequences.
- "Note to self, it there's ice and a ship, don't go!"
professor about titanic and shackleton. flashbacks to class with LG. "it sunk, we're over it."
- "You need a plan, Shackleton."
she called me shackleton. i did say it was going to be a stupid question.
"Channel Z" B-52's
a favorite growing up. it's amusing to sing in the mornings while shelving because it's so random.
love the random running through the woods and crazy dancing by the river. 4:26 freeze!
Tomorrow is a halfday then some church league softball. Prince of Peace is going down man! It's game on! I'll keep you posted if there's any Church League Cheerleading.
OUT!

Cause I'm a wanderer, yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around around......
The game's afoot. Time and patience will now take precendence.
Today was awesome. Shelved from 9-12, there were actually things for me to shelve, huzzah! Well, that and checking in delivery with the awesomeness that is QofA. And oh man, my Glee-Loving Boss does storytime and he gets really into it with the voices. This morning there were all these animals crying in a story and one of my coworkers who was in the back room called the front desk just to make sure everything was okay.
After that the day was cake. Took a nap, watched some Charlie's Angels, ordered pizza, read the rest of my textbook - I'm still debating on what to post. Name an example of leadership that Shackleton showed and two management acts he used to accomplish this. I'm thinking that he was able to keep his team in good physical and mental health and he did it by dividing up the group by personality types to stay in tents together and ummm.... something about the rations or warm food or something. No, that's dumb. I'll think of a better part two to that. Then something that he did that relates to something my current boss has done. I'm thinking delegation will be the answer there. But nothing's final until I officially post it.
After all that was more Charlie's Angels - season three, Jill guest-starred after her fiance is killed in an accident that could have easily been hers. It's amusing, even though Kris is in the show through the rest of the series I still think of her as the kid sister. Even though she's like her own person. Yes, I know me and my charlie's angels. QofA said that today. True dat. But it's helping to distract me from Chuck and my utter lack of season four. Which isn't due to come out until October. So, in the meantime I'll make due. Or maybe switch it up with some Big Bang Theory season four, huzzah!
Tomorrow is more of the same - halfday. I think. Will check on that again before I take off. Then going to watch Squirt and Bubby play some volleyball at my old high school plus supper with Oldest and Second Sister(s). Should be fun. Taking a pregnant lady to a brewery probably isn't the wisest choice but they have lots of options. Besides I haven't been there since my 21st and I'm craving their rainbow chicken and fries.
Song of the night: Shuffle Situation - Then and Now
Dion - "The Wanderer"
Then 1961
nice snappage.
Now 2010
not bad. is that paul simon?
out!
