"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.

Titanium - David Guetta feat. Sia


love the mix of this one from pitch perfect. will have to find it later and post it.

interesting video, not what i was expecting.

Too Close - Alex Clare


very catchy, cool video


Good Feeling - Flo Rida



too catchy for its own good.

Don't wake up in a road side ditch.

Things I learned today:

-In Duluth, Minnesota it is illegal to allow animals to sleep in a bakery.

-In Idaho, you may not fish on a camel's back.

-All of the earth's continents are wider at the north than in the south - and nobody knows why.

-A group of frogs is called an army.

-90% of women who walk into a department store immediately turn to the right.

(those may be complete crap, just FYI)

-No matter how well-planned out things may seem, they can still go sideways.

The last one was especially true for today. They've finished the majority of the painting which means that books go back on the wall along the outside - or the car manuals at least cause that's their new permanent location.

When they took them down they attempted to keep them in order on the shelves and then line up the shelves so that it would be easier to put them back up....but the plan failed a bit.

Mostly because the lines they were put in were a bit out of order. But whatever, two hours later they were fixed and up.

The movers were seriously impressive, the Awesome Aide and I sat back and watched as these muscle-bound guys picked up the shelves with the books still on them and carried them around the room, then lifted them over their head and installed them.

And these are heavy books.

Dude.

Anyway, as well-planned as it was, since they weren't putting them back in the same section as they took them down it turned into a bit of a mess.

But we got it.

One of the dudes said if something goes wrong they'd have my back.

So Chet's Moving Service has got my back.

Made me feel special, haha.

But there was a lot of re-shelving things and organizing today which made me realize all this new supplies stuff I need to order, blah. I'm behind, but that'll be my goal for tomorrow: order conquer, tape, baskets, batteries....there was more but I'm blanking. Good thing I wrote it down.

Aside from the constant running all over the place was the constant heat which didn't help things but we're in Nebraska so we're used to it, anyway we found ways to distract ourselves, talking about the big game and our favorite commercials which is a frequent topic between myself and The New Guy.

Here are some of our favorites:
