All-Staff Meeting Day 1
May. 19th, 2026 09:35 pmOh, what a day. I overslept an hour and a half, but made it to my meeting. Then, I was going to go to our volunteer work, but my shoulder and neck started bugging me (maybe from carrying the laptop?) So I went home to work. Then I had an IBS flareup. Sheesh.
We each did the Clifton Strengths assessment. We found it interesting that five out of seven of us in User Services had relator, someone who likes to work in a friendly environment, in the top five. Makes sense though because we work closely with our libraries.
The ground is still wet and I’m feeling achy and tired, so no mowing today. I need to book my hotel in Chicago and the bus (done). The Hilton is booked up, so I’m staying at the Hyatt near O'Hare. (They have an airport shuttle.) I’ll have to hussle a little on the way out because my flight is at 1 PM, but on the way back, the bus is at 3:30, so I can take my time. Maybe I can ask for a late checkout because my flight back gets in at 10 PM. I wonder if they have a Domino’s near there so that I could order a pizza when I get in. Or I could buy food on the flight from Denver to Chicago.
Oliver and Lily are attending my nap. Oliver is under the blanket and Lily is batting at him. Napped and woke up just before my alarm.
Fed us all. I looked for the White Elephant gift from last December at work, but couldn’t find it. I’ll ask the recipient for his address to have it sent to him.
I need to wash off the mud that Bella got on my jeans and go to bed. Damn, it’s humid in here.
