10:28pm: OK, that's not actually the saying (it's supposed to about keeping your fast when there's water shortages), but it seems apt at this present moment since I have to get to bed.

I wrote and posted a McFly July prompt this evening, so hooray for that :O)

Apart from that not much else to report, work was busy, but fun as usual - yeah I have fun at work - I did have an unexpected desk shift, but it wasn't too bad fortunately (sometimes the desk can be a seriously pain in the butt).

I'll tell you what I haven't been doing as I should be...cleaning my apartment, which I seriously need to do by Wednesday evening otherwise my parents are gonna kick my ass so hard.

On that note, let's Meme and run!

Friday Five

1. Do you believe that music can have a direct effect on your life? Hmm...well, I've never been moved by a song to take a new life path or whatever, so maybe not? I do enjoy listening to music though, especially in the car.

2. What is your current favorite song? Man, that's a tough one...there's lots of songs I enjoy! But if I had to pick one ummm... Kiss of Life by The Corrs, which is not current, but I don't really get into whatever the children are listening to now a days. :OP

3. What's the one song from junior high that you can still rattle off all the words to? We don't have junior high in Australia, primary school goes from Kindergarten to Year 6, and then High School is Year 7 to 12, but I guess middle school is like Year 6 to 8, so umm...maybe a song from The Corrs first album? But don't trust me on that ;OP

4. Did you have a prom song? Don't be embarrassed, we all did it. Don't have prom as such in Australia either, our dances are called Formals and we really only had one in Year 10 and Year 12. And there was no specific song for it. We DID sing or play Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) at the last school assembly in Year 12, so let's go with that.

5. Do you and your significant other have a "song" that you share? N/A.

Righto, bed calls, funnily enough, James Turner is running a 24/7 livestream on YouTube of his Big Wallet Legacy, and even though I've recently watched them, it's fun to have them going again. I hope I haven't missed anymore archery at the Paralympics though!

But yes, good night!

10:40pm: For example, I was totally sure that I have the physio appointment this morning, which was weird because my Google Mini didn't mention it when I woke up. Before setting off this morning I picked up my phone to check the address (my physio has more than one office) and FINALLY noticed that even though it was showing on my calendar app, it wasn't actually happening until the 23rd, next week!

Whoops! Fortunately, I wasn't any later for work than usual, but that was a bit embarrassing...

Anyway, not much to report, work went well, although I did discover that somehow I sent an ILL book to the wrong patron! So I've had to order another copy, because said wrong patron is a Home Library Service patron and they have reaaaally long loan periods, so apparently I wouldn't get the book back until 28th August at the earliest. Yeah, way too long.

I have no idea how I managed that either...but suffice to say I feel pretty silly. It is possible the book hasn't actually been sent to the Home Library patron, but I haven't got a reply back from the Home Library Service person yet.

I posted my second McFly July prompt, I was actually thinking of writing on it during lunch, but I need to find some new boots and possibly a pair of white sneakers while the sales are still on, so I did that instead. No luck, I'm afraid, the problem is I wear orthodics, so I need to get a larger size than I'd wear otherwise, but that does mean the shoe can sometimes be too loose in the back, but too tight in the front. I guess I could go to the shoe shop that specialises in orthodic type shoes, although I'm not sure they're having a sale.

Right, so it's coming up to 11pm and I've been trying to get to bed at a more decent hour, so I'll do a quick meme and hit the hay.

The Friday Five

1. Are you happy with your current line of work? What do you like/don't like about it?

Most definitely! It took me forever to get into the library field and now that I'm in it it's everything I hoped it'd be :O) I like pretty much everything about it! Except maybe filling in stuff for the yearly Performance Reviews, LOL.

2. Do you see yourself doing the same type of work in 5 years? What about 10?

You can pry this job from my cold, dead hands :OP No seriously, I don't even like to think about having to find another job, it took me so long to find this one!

3. Did you see yourself doing this type of work 5 years ago? What about 10?

Well, I started working at this job 5 years ago, so that's a yes. 10 years ago, I was volunteering at the library, but I wasn't actually succeeding at getting any positions so I went to TAFE to get my Certificate III in Aged and Disability Care. This allowed me to meet Mrs S, who even though I haven't spoken to her in a while, was a really good boss and I enjoyed my time with her... Also the three councils in my area merged into one during that time and everyone had to reapply for their jobs so I'm not sure I would have been able to take the stress!

4. Did you have a dream job as a child? What was it?

Long time readers will be well-aware of my Peter Pan Syndrome and lack of plans re: my adult life. I didn't briefly want to be a vet, but when I took a one day "Visit a Vet" type program thing, I quickly decided it wasn't for me when we were asked to dissect a goat's liver.

5. If you had to pick a radically different job from what you have now, regardless of whether you'd realistically be able to do it given your skillset, what would you pick and why?

Oh geeze, I dunno if I want to go there and it has to be radically different? I honestly can't think of anything I'd want to do. Maybe work at a museum? Which isn't radically different, but it's the closest I can think of and I do enjoy history so...

Oh and I almost forgot, I'm happy to say my stomachache was gone today! Although, I unwisely drank a bit too much water just before going to the gym so I had to cut my work out shorter than usually because I felt kinda ick. I feel good now though, so here's hoping that continues!

For now, goodnight!
