[Image description: Two digital drawings, both of my OC Fitz (they/he/it) set against a brick pattern background. The images are same except for their colors. The first drawing is in a limited palette of dark sage green, light sage green, medium yellow, medium orange, and dark red. The second drawing is in a limited palette of hot pink, navy blue, neon yellow-green, light sage green, and denim blue. Fitz is a young, fat, Eladrin with short undercut hair with a swirling pattern tattoo on the shaved side. They are wearing an open coat that goes down to their hips and boxer shorts, with no shirt beneath the coat. His hands are both at his sides, with one in the pocket of the coat. He is facing towards the right and looking off in the distance with a soft smile. End description.]

Why finish prepping for my game tomorrow when I could be drawing Them?

April 13, 2017

I slept in this morning, ate breakfast, got ready for work, ate lunch, and then went to work.  Oh, and I fixed my computer.  Or at least got it working.  I wouldn't say it's entirely fixed yet.  I heard back from tech support and that mostly just confusing because I couldn't follow the instructions, not only because they were not written by a native English speaker, but also because it required me not being stuck on the EaseUS screen and being able to click things. It was helpful in that it mentioned something about a preOS function. That got me thinking and I went into the boot order of my computer. There was something listed first, I can't remember what, and then the hard drive that I know my OS is on was listed second.  When I selected that hard drive I was able to get into Windows just fine. Once I had done that I wanted to uninstall EaseUS, or at the very least disable the preOS function.  But I couldn't find it.  I have no recollection of ever buying it and have no idea where it came from. This is a little bit of a problem because tech support wants me to install the latest version and send them my order number so they can send me the license code.  I found an EaseUS Partition Master folder from four years ago but haven't found anything else.  It remains a mystery.

The positive of the whole situation is that I discovered my laptop can handle recording videos of Tera and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which my desktop cannot do.  So I might start recording my audio journal videos with my laptop so I can expand my game options.

When I got to work I had a walkthrough and then wasn't on desk until three o'clock so I headed upstairs.  Pretty much all of that time was spent working on homebound stuff.  It is so time consuming.  I finally got in a groove right about the time I had to go back downstairs.  But I made a decent start and by the end of the day I was able to finish all of my book lists.  That is always a relief.

This morning before we opened they moved the large print books upstairs.  I walked right by the shelves upstairs on my walkthrough but didn't notice it until I passed the empty shelves downstairs where the books used to be.  Kinda crazy.

This evening I was supposed to have my Twinery workshop but no one signed up.  Kind of disappointing because I think it would have been a fun program.  I might try it again in the future if I can ever attract a core group of people, maybe once the stuff I'm doing to attract younger people becomes more established.  I'm going for a demographic that typically doesn't look to the public library for activities, so it has been a little slow going.

I spent my newly found free time tonight finishing homebound stuff and then researching various resources for fake news.  Good times. It was a fairly busy night for a Thursday, but it did die off in the last hour or two.  It was also pretty uneventful but I did have to talk to a group of kids a couple times.  They were running all over the library, randomly being loud and annoying people.  At one point I think they may have been playing hide and seek.  Kids.  I spoke to a couple of them first, told them to pick a spot and stay there and tell their friends.  I didn't notice them after that but we got a complaint via chat (because people who hang out in libraries don't like confrontation and face-to-face interactions) that they were still being a nuisance.  I managed to find them all together and let them no that we were glad they were hanging out at the library but that we had received complaints and if they didn't stop running around I was going to have to ask them to leave for the day.  It was all good after that, thankfully.

On my way home I stopped at the store to buy cereal and then ate a bowl of it when I got home.  Cereal is still my thing of the moment. Then I watched a little bit of YouTube before starting this.  I'm freaking tired so I'm going to record my audio journal so I can go to bed.  I got a new hard drive today because I'm running out of space but playing with it is going to have to wait until tomorrow.
