Visit from a former colleague today. Law librarians getting together - always a bit scary! Apparently this is a yearly thing which makes me wondering if oughtn't be getting together with my opposite number/replacement a bit more often.

After a tour of the place, I joined them for coffee and it was great to swap notes and catch up on what was going on at TheOldPlace. It sounds as if they're managing with all the departures and a lack of a boss. Though it doesn't sound ideal.

What was oddest though was the kind of blur effect of sitting with the two people that have filled my mental space of 'law librarian' for the last however long. Evidently my mapping of TheOldPlace to the new has been too accurate. It's not like the two individuals in question are easily confusable.

Our break quickly became 'the rest of the afternoon' - but that seemed fine as a 'not too often' mix of CPD (comparing notes) and networking (the social bits!).
