"What are you doing?" "Being nice." "You're not nice. And you're on duty." "Well, give me the afternoon off."

Today...

More supplies fun.

Made up a spreadsheet so everyone knows where to find stuff.

Yes, that has become my life.

Isn't it exciting?

I feel stuck.

There's so many changes being made and I don't know what to think about them.

Am I actually happy there?

Do I want to stay?

I have the degree, should I be looking around for other jobs?

Everyone keeps telling me to.

I don't know. Maybe it's just been one of those weeks.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

I like the people, I like the patrons - well most of them - I like the location, I don't mind the hours so I guess I'm happy.

I have TAB.

They make me happy.

It just sucks that all the girls my own age bailed on me. But that's okay, I still have friends there.

In fact, the New Guy and I talked about library staff hitting up Vegas sometime for a conference.

That'd be awesome. I can see us all walking the strip, playing craps, seeing shows.

It's making me look forward to the boyfriend and I's upcoming vacation.

Going to see Pentatonix and that's about all we have planned so far.

We'll probably do some gambling, but not a lot. Last time we went there the majority of our time was spent walking the strip, and it was a lot of fun.

Though this year I'll attempt to keep everything in my pockets.

Or get one of those cheesy fanny packs.

Apparently Drew loves them, who knew?

I'm back on the Closer. Up to season two.



Remember how I'm a nerd?

Anyway, I've got that and hockey to entertain me for the next 24 hours.

Bubby's singing the national anthem at tomorrow's game. Well, his school is. It always amuses me cause the boys always look like they're in pain whenever they're forced to do anything like this in front of people.

Reminds me of my directing musicals days.

Did I mention that? Used to help out at my old grade school. We did plays every year and they were awesome. Drug my college friends out to watch them and they would always laugh because my boys always looked like they were the worst thing in the world.

But the girls and all the younger kids loved them.

And the boys had fun too, it's just day of they had to be cool.

I miss those days.

Part of the reason I'm excited that TAB's gonna start filming a web series to promote library services. Get to write and direct every month. Huzzah.

Maybe that will bring the fun back.

Let's hope so.

Alright, music and I'm out.

Who I Am - Danielle Bradbery


you cried, don't even lie.

ironic song choice for the post, i'm aware. but it was stuck in my head all day.

legit pre-midnight, holy crap tag in use.

but i've got friends that love me and they know just where i stand

Website for class is done!!

It's due at 10:00 AM, and it is currently 3:30 AM on the dot.

Yes, this post will say it's 11:50 PM but it says that often and every time it does I'm full of crap.

Just throwing that out there.

Anyway, I'm super pumped cause I'm finished with this giant giant giant website assignment for Info Tech class and as soon as this is posted there will be much victory dancing before I literally fall over and sleep.

Or die.

Either is possible at this point. I'm barely sitting up as it is.

But I'll come up with the energy to victory dance.

There's always energy stored somewhere for a victory dance.

I've been doing a lot of dancing lately, at work especially.

Which I didn't notice until it was pointed out to me.

Like literally, BossLady was talking about this culture event thing that I was supposed to go help out at and we were set up in a corner and she was like, "but you're big on gestures and dancing so you'll draw them in."

I went, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I do not.

At least, not that often.

But yes, apparently I do.

I blame my family.

Isn't that what most people do when accused of being quirky?

They blame their family because they're the only people who can't run screaming in the other direction?

They're stuck with you for life.

Anyway, Everts women do a lot of broad hand gestures.

Broad hand gestures and shrieks for joy when we win a card game/drink an adult beverage/arrive at a destination without getting lost/embarrass the children present - we get kicked out of churches and pizza joints but we go out in style.

Oh, don't give me that look, it wasn't me that got kicked out of the church. Though I did laugh about it when I was informed.

I don't remember where I was or where I was going so I'll start over.

Well, not over but yeah, whatever. You get it.

Did I mention I'm half asleep at this point. It's like once I hit submit all the energy just floated away.

But like I said, victory dancing will bring it back and last for probably about 5 seconds before I pass out and wake up on the living room floor.

Remind me to set my alarm, can't be late for the dentist.

Blah, dentists.

I'm sure there will be more on that tomorrow after the appointment.

I don't remember where their office is located, I'll have to look it up.

Think I've repressed it that much that I don't even know how to get there.

Nah, he wasn't awful I'm just hoping they don't do that gum measuring thing every time I go in and that was only cause it was my first time there.

Cause that was suck-ish.

And I haven't cut down on the sugar or pop or started flossing which makes me an awful person, I'm sure.

But I can't live without Diet Dr. Pepper. Every year I want Santa to bring me a lifetime supply but he never does. Maybe that will change if I start flossing.

I had a bunch of stuff to say about today but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

Other than the fact I had to text Queen of the Known Universe cause I left my Star Wars thermos somewhere in the building and I didn't want someone walking off with it. You hit a button and Han Solo talks. He predicts me day. Like I'll ask, "what's today look like for us, Han?" and he'll reply "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

and then I groan and take a sip of the coffee/tea/whatever hot liquid seems to be inside it at the time.

Not the reason she gave me her number, but the real reason is more of a long story that will remain unexplained cause I don't want either of us to get yelled at.

Ha.


3:45 AM

Holy crap I need sleep.


Maybe if I fall asleep in the dentist chair I won't notice all the horrible things taking place.

Alright, going to bed now.

I leave you with this.

Song You Know But Forgot You Knew It

Enjoy.
