I'm not really sad about leaving the library. It's been great, and I've loved my time there, but I'm ready for something new.
What I will miss is Kelly, my coworker of the last two months, my replacement, and my newest kindred spirit. She's nearly 20 years older than me, married with two kids, but we have so much fun together. We sit back at the SRP table, talking about books and movies and what we did the night before. I told her about my ridiculous crush on Tom Hiddleston, and then we spent the next hour looking up cute guys on the internet.
She's silly, and we laugh a lot, but I also really admire her. I'm so glad to be passing my job onto her--she gets that we're a public library, that it's our duty to provide books of all kinds, not just what we prefer. She tries not to have opinions until she is familiar with the source (which led to a really hilarious and interesting discussion of Fifty Shades of Grey after she read it to see what the fuss was all about). She's awesome.
Today I pulled her into our office to show her this hilarious video that has been cracking me up every time I think about it. She laughed along, and I said I really want to Loki someone with an obnoxious stupid prank.
An hour later, I walked into the office, and she burst out laughing. I was...a little alarmed.
"I Loki'd you!"
"Ack! What!?"
"I Loki'd you, and you don't even know! It's so stupid, but I can't figure out how to get you to realize it." She was cracking up so hard that I burst out laughing too.
She changed my facebook to pirate talk. HAHAHA. Loki'd.
