Last night, I wrote a short letter of good luck to my manager Licka. I know she's been working crazy hours because Bulldog is on sick leave due to her hip surgery. Licka was getting a bit antsy especially after working her ninth day in a row. Could one call it cabin fever? Anyway, she gushed about her upcoming volleyball tournament in Whistler this Saturday. Her anticipation and excitement hit the roof. She needed to fly full throttle in her passion (volleyball) and to relieve her stress and frustration levels.
This afternoon, when she came in, she gave me a shy, bubbly smile before leaning in for a hug. For a second, I froze, unsure if she would smell the Chiense ointment in my hair and feeling like a gross doll she shouldn't touch. (I rubbed some on my scalp the night before because I couldn't sleep from a throbbing pain in my head.)
Licka found my letter cute (but she seems to find everything about me is cute, even if it's weird, I'm weird and cute) and it seemed to her whole day up to be a good one. She also up opened more to me, conversing more naturally than usual. Maybe I have a stand-off-ish vibe when it comes to work because I try to remain as professional and work-friendly as possible.... without falling into any gray areas. (My personal life is already one gray blob. I'd like to somewhat control my work environment. My mind strays easily.) But it was nice - a warmth which eased me a little.
This is probably one of the best examples of one of my letters directly affecting another individual in a positive way.
I like it.
With that encouragement, I don't know why I stopped my correspondance a long time ago for several years.
Work is also an interesting place for me to write letters too. However, I want to avoid any jealousy issues or minor seeds of resentment. There has to be a specific reason for me to write to any of my coworkers. So far...
McKennel - belated birthday letter (June 29th)
Nikkiques - moving back to Vancouver Island to live with boyfriend and transfering to one of our locations there
Fire Zoo - resigning to paint full time - already with a willing investor
I'd like to write a letter in a puzzle/code format to Porterice but I need a message first. (I've noted her interests in crosswords and soduku puzzles.)
