Kia ora koutou,
I wanted a longer title field for this post, it is worse than twitter for making us be succinct!
Please add Tuesday 28 November at 2.15pm to your diaries – a light afternoon tea and short speeches in the tearoom (level5) at Central Library to welcome all our colleagues who have previously been based in the Education Library.
Looking at the synonyms for ‘welcome’ there are words like wanted, cherished, desired that seem to meet what this event is for – as Central Library staff welcome Education Library staff and hope that everyone has a hunky-dory, swell, peachy-keen, copacetic, right-on and delightful time in their new abode! (Warning, don’t let Lyndsay play with the thesaurus on Friday afternoon!)
Curious thing about copacetic is that, although it looks as if it could be derived from Latin, it in fact arose (probably) from African American slang https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/copacetic – see the Editor’s Note
It is 2.15pm not 3.15pm right?
yes, it is at 2.15pm to make sure that people who normally don’t work into the later part of the afternoon are still about. Thanks for checking.
Thank you Lyndsay for clarification.
