It’s an unofficial tradition (does two people doing it so far equal a “tradition”?) that when a colleague is at one of the branches I work at – either for a meeting or redeployed due to illness or whatever – they leave a doodle of some kind as a “thanks” for using my desk.
The younger librarians I work with like to call me “Old Man Hammond” (probably should talk to HR about the harassment I suffer) so one colleague recently left me here interpretation of a favourite photo I have on my desk from when I was “Young Man Hammond” – even before I became a librarian.
This was during a free Engagement Photo Shoot that Shea and I “won” at a Bridal Fair in Calgary then spent a couple hundred bucks on prints.
Most pics were pretty traditional and serious but this one right at the end of the shoot is one the photographer snapped as we joked around and has become a constant reminder to not take things too seriously and always try to have fun – no matter what.
