These Shoes Are Made for Walkin'
Jan. 12th, 2026 11:45 pm11:20pm: Well, it's late again so I really better make this quick! There was a bit of a drama at work this morning when I arrived and looked at the roster only to discover that I was supposed to do the closing shift, despite the fact that it's my half day today! Obviously, I should have checked the roster last week, but I'm not used to being on opening or closing shifts, and totally forgot.
Then, even more drama, I decided to check next week's roster - that's when I'm going to be on the Australian Open cruise, and discovered I wasn't marked as on leave! Which was thoroughly confusing to me because I definitely remembered giving notice. As it turns out though I accidentally did the old procedure for taking leave instead of the new one...which involves emailing the Branch Manager first not putting in for the leave through our Time Management...thing.
So yeah fortunately I got that all sorted out, but yeah a bit awkward not checking ahead and I'm pretty sure the Library Manager was the one who had to cover the closing shift this evening.
I did offer to do the shift although it would have meant having to take a long break in the middle of the day because I had a podiatrist appointment this afternoon, which turned out to be much longer than usual because I'm due for new orthodics so the podiatrist had to take new plaster casts of my feet. I also mentioned about my ice skates and the problem it was causing my big toe and he made some adjustments with the old orthodics I have in them so they should be way better now. It'll be a bit of time before I can test them out though! As for my new orthodics they'll be ready in a couple of weeks. They're also going to set me back quite a bit of dough and I don't have any foot related treatments on my Private Health Insurance cover because it would have required going up to the next level of cover which would have been really quite expensive and I think I figured out it wouldn't be worth it. Let's hope my maths was right!
Oh and I'm not sure I mentioned this, I think I did, but one of my library books disappeared when I was at my parent's place last week, I looked for it yesterday when I was over there, but no luck. However, I was positive it was there because it's the last place I saw it. So after the podiatrist I headed over to drop off the little container that had a piece of my mother's lasagna (which I ate for dinner last night) to look for it again. And hurrah! I found it! It was hiding under the bed, which I looked under yesterday, but obviously not well enough. What a relief though! Paying for a lost library book is expensive, plus I want to finish reading it.
RIght, it's quarter to midnight and I didn't get enough zzzs last night so I better be off, also I've got an eyelash in my eye so I have to deal with that.
Ta-ta!
