So Long and Thanks, Maggie!

TNL bids farewell to Maggie, our LINUS Blog editor who is off on a new adventure.

What can TNL say except – Take me with you!!

As far as TNL is concerned any librarian that sits up and say, “Aha! I’m going for it!” deserves a pat on the back, a righteous, loud “Good on ya, mate!” and if he or she is nice and cuddly – a big hug.

TNL gets all self-reflective and contemplative when her friends say “So long and thanks for all the fish!” When you have been in the same place for the past 20 years, you sometimes feel like that bit of gum stuck on the underside of the table. After a while, that gummy place isn’t so bad after all. Ah….

It takes guts. Yup. Of which TNL lacks. Seriously. She is gutless. You can see no guts.

Another friend is also leaving. Now, that one. Where he is going – it takes a whole lot more than a tangle of guts. It is not a matter of wanting a change or an adventure or pursuing one’s heart’s desire. TNL believes it is much simpler and basic. She wishes very much she could take this one beautiful step of faith. Perhaps another time, huh?

So, friends, go forth boldly and our best wishes to you!
