The day started out very nicely with some texting and then a phone call with my Sweetheart. In a few minutes I will get to talk and pray with him for the evening. So the bookends of my day are happy.
Not that the rest of the day was awful, except that the Training site was not accessible all afternoon, and other aspects of FamilySearch were not working all that well either. We all hope this will be corrected very quickly.
I spent 3 hours in the Training room today--one hour before lunch and two hours after--and I think that may be why I felt really tired as I left the Library. I was not sleepy, exactly, just tired. The ceilings on the floor are fairly high, while that is not so in the Training room, so the florescent lights bother me more, I think. But after my shift I was able to go to a little get-together with my MTC group, and that was a nice change. I also was given a ticket for the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, so I will be happy to attend that, as it is an early evening meeting, starting at 6 pm. There were some tickets for other Christmas events, but those did not start until 7:30 or 8, so that just does not work well for me.
I also learned more about a daytime event called The Big Picture. I had not thought I could go, even though I got an invitation, but I learned from my friends that I should be able to get off work in order to attend.
I helped several guests at the Library, even though I was not scheduled to be a helper. One couple ended up having ancestry back into Switzerland, but the need was not really research so much as it was how to deal with conflicting information between records. The woman was fun to talk with. She has been doing family history since she was 12, and now she is learning to do it on the computer--and she is considerably older than 12!
I presented my first prepared-by-me in-service today. The people in my section seemed to be fairly happy to be learning a few new computer skills.
