Today we set out to celebrate the tenure earned by one of our elite Walk-O-Rama members. One can earn Walk-O-Rama “points” in a number of ways to raise their status to this “elite” level. Celeste has earned hers by compiling an impressive mixture of miles, calories, and dollars spent. Good job! One may also earn points by giving me cash. Or brownies. So now Walk-O-Rama is just one member away from being comprised of employees who all have permanency with the state! That means we will be walking together during our lunch breaks until we die – guaranteed! Awesome!!
Having remembered the Lucky Penny that Celeste bought her in Vegas for much more than a penny, Kristen felt sure this would be one magical lunch. And it was! We found one secret door to a mystery tower and, despite its lack of a knob or handle, we were open to will it open with our minds! The person whose arms served as the means of performing this mental command seemed quite alarmed to find all four of us staring drop-jawed at her when she exited the mystery tower, but we were not ashamed. We were amazed by our new group power.
We also spotted a group of ultra nerdy cool quidditch players out enjoying an intense semi-magical competition on the Physics lawn. Ken scoffed at the idea that they were playing without a Golden Snitch. Also, none of the athletes seemed to at any point be airborne. Amateurs. We do not consider ourselves nerdy in any way for being able to find fault in their sport by noting the lack of a Golden Snitch. Quidditch may or may not be added to our upcoming Library Olympics, in which some of us will excel at volleyball without a net, and others will run the length of our planned 5 foot long soccer field to attempt to score against Arielle who claims to be an awesome goalie and has the remnants of a once broken thumb to prove it. Do not click on Special Olympics if it should happen to pop up when you Google Library Olympics. It is not the same thing. We swear!
Having dawdled while observing all of these things, we worried that we might not make it back on time. Fortunately, the magic in the air today put our fears to rest by speeding up and blowing us effortlessly to the building, where it then only took us 12 minutes to climb two flights of stairs.
Congratulations to our friend Celeste on her new sentence honor of working as a lifelong state employee! Come join us next week if you have something to celebrate, which we all do!
Yeah!! Congratulations Celeste! 30 years will fly by!!
Haha. I will be lucky if I make it 15 years! Thanks everyone for making my day special!
