Well, I’m going to go ahead and count at least one iffy one today. Two, in fact. But also some “what I learneds” from others.
Stranger 1: Fellow Sneaky Microwave User
(iffy because we did know each other’s faces, but not names… we work on the same floor)
Points:
At work: 10 points
Initiated conversation: Well, more so initiated activity, so we’ll count that—10 points
Conversation 5 minutes or more: 10 points
Inside comfort zone: 2 points
TOTAL: 32 points!
What I learned: There is general disdain for how the third floor has four microwaves and virtually no people.
Stranger 2: Librarian-to-be
Points:
Newcomer to group of which I am already a member: 2 points
We spoke a few times through the evening, so I’m not giving points for initiation, because we both did that.
Conversation 15 minutes or more (it might have been over half an hour, but I’m not sure): 15 points
Comfort zone: 2 points
TOTAL: 19 points
What I learned: Some librarians are self-described as not bookish.
Grand total: 51 points. WOOT!
Other what-I-learneds from other strangers I’m not counting…
1: Everyone knows people from Haliburton.
2: I should really meet my friend Lisa’s cousin (who apparently everyone knows).
