People Who Put Up With Me

10:47pm: Well, I got home from the Archery Presentation and Christmas Party night about an hour ago and I'm sleeepy, so as ever I'll make it quick.

In regards to my subject heading, well, I made the dubious decision of trying to create a new order for the magazines. I think, in the end, everything was mostly OK, but I won't know until next Tuesday when I can speak to my work colleague. But yes, my first error, accidentally selecting the wrong magazine title to re-new - fortunately, the cost of it is the same so not a disaster. Then when I got the right title, I somehow managed to give two issues the same name (ie two December issues instead of a December one and a Christmas one), and thought for a good half an hour that we'd had double-ups. Sometimes we do get those, but there's a different process to dealing with those... But after looking into it, I managed to get the title right and everything seems to be OK.

I also discovered that somehow, we actually misspelled the name of one of our suppliers in our library management system! It doesn't actually impact anything, but still how embarrassing! I'm not sure if it can be fixed and I wonder if my colleague ever noticed...

And finally, I totally forgot to remind my other work colleague of an upcoming meeting of the City library's ILL services. The group has meeting every month or so and two of them are in person. Now when I was doing the ILLs our Collections Leader was annoyed when I didn't attend one in person - even though the next one I went to was literally twenty minutes long and it took me an hour to get into the State Library and then back to work. Anyway, the notice for the meeting came when my other work colleague was away and I meant to tell him about it, but I forgot until today and the meeting in question is this coming Monday afternoon! Ugh. In the end though, our Branch Manager said it wasn't really worth going in, still hopefully neither me or my colleague will get in trouble.

Right, so my eyes keep closing and while I could check to see if the Friday 5 is up, I think I'm gonna hit the hay.

On the upside...our team at the Archery Night Games came third! There was no prize, but go Table 3!

Goodnight!

10:43pm: Well, I better make this quick because I need to get my butt to bed so I'll be ready to go tomorrow for the opening shift I'm doing at the library.

However! The reason for my subject line is that after all my looking around I still haven't been able to locate one of my sausage dog socks. I have no idea where it could be...maybe the washing machine ate it? So I gave in and bought another pair, I considered getting ones with a different coloured background, but I like the purple one, so I didn't. I'll search for the other sock one more time - because you know how it goes when you buy a replacement for something. And I will admit I haven't cleaned up my house entirely, so it could still be hiding somewhere.

In other news, I'm a bit annoyed at my Sims game, it froze twice this evening when I was playing which sucks because I was making some inroads in Aubergine(my Eggplant Gen Sim)'s aspiration - breaking up couples is hard, at least if you don't want to get romantically involved. Then again Aubergine is an evil, heartbreaker so maybe I shouldn't care, LOL.

Anywho, that's about all I have time for, it's almost 11pm!

Ta-ta!

11:07pm: After yesterday night's entry, I was all set to go to bed - but spoiler alert - I did not... And now I'm most tired. I really do need to get back into better sleep habits, I'm still wondering if last Thursday's unpleasantness was a result of a lack of zzzs.

In which case, my butt should totally be in bed right now, not typing this up! It's not like I even have anything exciting to report - although I did finally catch up with those Ghosts episodes, yaaay! :OD My internet was still being an ass, so it took a while. Not sure what that's all about, this time I wasn't watching YouTube or anything.

In other news, I keep forgetting to do my tax, which I really must get onto! Of course, that will have to wait until tomorrow evening, since there's no time now.

On a final note, I was most worried this morning, that I might be on the Opening Shift at work - I keep forgetting to check the roster at work because the dang thing often changes. Fortunately, I wasn't especially because I was a bit late this morning, gulp! However, I am on this Thursday, which means I don't think I'll be able to go over to my parents house on Wednesday, which is a shame, but them's the breaks.

And now, I must flee, I need those zzzs!

Ta-ta!

11:11pm: I've probably used that title before, but it's quite apt for today because I did indeed have roast chicken for dinner with my parental units this evening after going to church with Dad (it was the primary school next door's turn to do the Mass) and this morning I scored a PB at archery, hooray!

Speaking of which I have archery tomorrow morning, so I'll have to make this quick...

I just remembered I forgot to catch up on Ghosts! Which I'm judging myself for, because the episode from two weeks ago was Trevor-centric and he's my absolute fave, what am I doin', people? :OP

I also neglected to do my laundry...on the upside though I did wash my hair, so that's all nice and squeaky clean for the next week.

There's also...

The Friday Five

21/11/25: TV Time

These questions were originally suggested by heartovmidnight on LJ.

1. What's your favourite TV network? In all honesty? I'd say YouTube, which I know isn't a TV channel but I'm watching it a whooole lot lately so... But if I need to pick a channel...I guess Channel 10, all of my favourite comedy shows are on there, even Ghosts - eventually :OP

2. If you could create your own channel, what would it be? Like a TV channel? Hmm...that's a toughie... I used to really enjoy the Crime & Investigation Network and the Discovery Channel. Plus I do enjoy the house shows on 9Home, so maybe it'd be a channel for the ADHD people with lots of different shows on, LOL. I'd definitely have Jeopardy episodes on there, because I do love a quiz show.

3. What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back? Hmm...I guess new episodes of Inspector Gadget would be pretty cool - as long as they were good! And I wasn't a child more like a 20 year old, but it'd be cool if they brought back Sale of the Century/Temptation, which was another fun quiz show.

4. What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show? Pretty much all the reality shows, especially the dating shows. In particular Married at First Sight, apparently there's psychologists on that show - I assume they must have been struck off now, because damn do they not care about the "Do No Harm" thing.

5. What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD? Ghosts! Definitely, Ghosts! The first season was released, but none of the others so far. Rude TBH.

Okedoke, I need to dry my hair before I can go to bed, so I shall wrap this up now.

Ta ta!

10:39pm: I had to take a sick day from work today, I woke up feeling fine...but then my digestive system decided to rebel and I ended up feeling weak and dizzy and not up to driving home in my green car and then going onto work. On the plus side I do have quite a lot of sick leave, on the downside...staff a very thin on the ground at the moment, I sure hope no-one was too put out. I am feeling better now, so *fingers crossed* I should be OK to go in tomorrow.

I did end up getting back to the apartment, except not in my car, Dad had a physio appointment so I caught a ride with him, which means I'll need to go back to the parental house at some point to get my car back. I hope the birds haven't got to it, although apparently the hose in the apartment parking lot is working now - last time I tried to use it, the tap was turned off so hard I couldn't turn it.

Not much else to report, except that after some months I had my last appointment with my physio about my left shoulder, which I hurt way back in June. I couldn't lift my arm about my head and reaching out to grab things hurt like Hell. But, I managed to commit to the exercises - mostly - and it's now back to 100%, wipes brow. The physio has left me with three final exercises to keep up with, which should keep the shoulders in good shape.

I better head to bed soon - although SydSquad is streaming from Sydney Airport right now and a 747 is taking off soon - man I miss the 747 - so I"m tempted to stay up to watch that. I should at least brush my teeth and everything so I'm ready to turn in as soon as it does.

Ta ta!

11:01pm: But that's no reason to stay up late tonight - I say as I start writing this at 11pm :OP

But yes tomorrow I'm on the closing desk shift at the library, which means working until 6pm (so nothing too awful), so I've decided not to start until 10am tomorrow. That being said, I know that time will sneak up on me tomorrow morning and I certainly don't want to be late.

A quick update of what's happening, I have just freed up some space on my laptop, which I probably should have done before playing The Sims 4 because it was being awfully laggy with me. I did get my two Sims grown up with a cake - thus avoiding the sad "No-one remembered my birthday" moodlet, which was my aim. I also tried breaking up another couple, but no luck. Boo hiss, it totally worked before, but I didn't save that game so...

What else to report? Not much, I did have a one-on-one with my supervisor today and things are going alright on that front - which after the last couple of weeks is a relief! I do wonder when the magazines will start showing up again...probably not for a while yet.

In the meantime, I've been cleaning my apartment at a very slow pace indeed...and I still haven't done my laundry, I mean I'm not running out of clothes yet or anything, but get with the program me!

On that note, I should wrap this up, like I said I want to head to bed before midnight because I'm not getting enough sleep and I know it catches up with me - today for example I felt super dizzy in the afternoon, I almost skipped the gym, but fortunately I felt better by the time work finished.

In that case, ta-ta!
