Regardless, I was jittery the entire drive to work and thought out my opinions on the Coffee vs. Tea debate. Tea wakes up your mind while Coffee wakes up your body (this all Emily science mind you). Like I usually black tea and while I may feel tired, I think coherently and am generally more mentally stimulated. This morning was totally different. Like all I my body wanted to do was move and dance and tingle and my head was all like "NOOOOO. why? IT's too early for this, can't think straight..blah." "I'm too tired to move but thats all I want to do? Very confusing. But damn, nothing can beat the smell of hot coffee. It's sort of ridiculous.
Well, It was Logan's last day yesterday (at least for me seeing him) and it was actually pretty emotional. It was more of a copy day so Logan and I hung out. Here's how it went.
Logan: "You know, Emily, I'm really going to miss you"
Woh. And then I'm saying "I'm going to miss you too Logan" instinctively. (But I think it's actually the truth) IT was all last lunch. Last this. Last that. We had to take a short lunch because Logan was busy and he's all upset that our last lunch is so short. And as I'm writing this, I;m thinking it's amazing how circumstances can make friendships. Like we talked about first meeting all nostalgic, but it was only 10 weeks ago. Who knew you could get to know a lot about a person in that short a time (more positives than negatives too!)?
As were talking, I point out that, hasn't he done this before? After all I'd seen the Cynthia sub-folder of the Intern Folder, to which Logan replied.
"She was a high school student. And besides we didn't go to lunch together and stuff like you and I. She only came from 2-5."
Aww Logan.
And then the office made me cupcakes and had this whole vaguely awkward goodbye thanks we really love you thing. Which was actually pretty heartwarming. (I honestly liked working with everybody in the office) I'm totally a sucker for things like that. Like I can forget all sorts of shit and look back at a lot of experiences in this light. The only really odd thing about all of this is that I still have 4 more days of work. So I'm not gone, but it sure feels like it. It was just the most convenient time since people are coming in and out in the next couple of days.
Anyways after that was all sorts of crazy. Like I was asked to drive to Staples downtown and pick up supplies since they weren't going to be delivered on time since our credit card bounced. Which was hectic since the project had to be done by today, parking is always miserable in downtown (except this time I totally spot squatted creepily behind a car pulling out and only had to pay 35 cents). Oh and I wore heels. And Pants. And it was 100 degrees. And stacks of paper are awkward to carry anyways.
Well when I finally got back, Logan and I had to go on one more adventure to the storage unit. ("The last thing I'll show you" says Logan poetically) So we park and walk up to the storage unit to find some posters (Recognize that Logan has the day off tomorrow). We start looking in the pitch black and we can't find them.
Logan: "Oh shoot I think they're back at the office."
So we go back to the office and we can't find them. Logan is freaking out at this point. (Oh my God, what if they're in the back of my car, I'll have to drive back here tomorrow. Maybe they're in Bob's truck? etc etc) And I'm trying to be calm and try to walk him through his memories which he is refusing to do. I actually saw the posters at the last seminar so I'm using my memory of what they look like to spur him. Like that they had pictures on both sides.(very important later)
Finally Logan realizes they are a different material then what he thought (which I had previously told him) but I had looked through the posters of that material and had only seen promotional posters, so I was pretty sure that these particular posters weren't there. However after some deliberation we decided to go back.
Logan is extremely nervous and apologetic and drives into the posters when we make it back. I showed him where the promotional posters were. And sure enough they're the were.... on the back of the promotional posters. So we were both right... sorta.
"Crisis Averted!" Shouted Logan
"A true office victory" I said.
It seemed fitting for such a great victory end our working relationship. (including the soaring 80s anthem provided by TGB's mixtape).
Well done Logan. Well done. Until we meet again!
