First let me talk about my relationship with Skinny. When I first met him I disliked him almost instantly. The more I got to know him, the more I knew I was right. The feeling was mutual. We worked together a long time. Skinny is a know it all. He thinks his ideas are the best. He cannot back down no matter what. We could be friendly if we had to. The last couple of years Skinny and I developed a better relationship because we had to. We needed each other to survive. Skinny helped me learn new work programs. I "tried" to help Skinny stay out of trouble with management. #lostcause. We did lots of laughing. Skinny even did some growing. I would not have learned to use my smart phone without Skinny. Now I google what I need to know. I stay in contact with him through texts, facebook, and e-mails. I might get to see him one more time before he moves. Hope to see him when I make my trip to Arizona. Skinny is smart. He learns new systems quickly. He is a good trainer. For his birthday, I wish for him to gain patience. OH MY GOSH, he needs patience. He will be a trainer in his new position. Just because people do not learn at your speed does not mean they are stupid Skinny. Here is my other gift to you. Don't make me say it again. I guess I ended up liking you. #thatwaspainful I even miss you. #likeabadcold Happy Birthday Skinny!!! I know you are going to have a great adventure this next year. Help look out for Easy Rider!! Try not to make everyone hate you immediately in your new job. Go in softly. Have a great time!!
Easy Rider I have told you how proud I am of you many times. You made your goal in 2013 to break out of your comfort zone. Well you did that in a huge way!! We started the Page Turners because you asked me to organize a book club. At the time, you and I did not really know each other. I was already tired of meeting new people at the work place. Through Page Turners we got to know each other and become friends. You have grown so much in the time I have known you. When I met you speaking your thoughts at a book club meeting was hard for you. You disliked the name Easy Rider. I picked the name because you have a beautiful motorcycle. Now the name fits more than ever. You will be riding off into the sunset.
For your birthday I hope that you continue to be brave. Continue to live life to the fullest. Enjoy all your new experiences. Make new friends. Maybe get a little bit of a suntan. I cannot wait to hear all the awesome things you are going to be doing. I know you will keep me updated. What a journey you are going on. This is going to be an amazing year for you!!! Once in a while please kick Skinny's behind for me. You know he will need it.
Happy Birthday To The Twins!!! I will see both of you before you leave. I will keep in contact with you when you are gone. Good Luck in your wild adventure.

LOVE! Wish you had a better picture of me, but it'll do. I will maybe become a better blogger when I have things to do! :) - Easy Rider
I am almost having a hard time commenting to this because of the watery-filled eyes. Feel like this blog post was written to build me up and tear me back down! #typicalJane
Where to start... When I first started, I was definitely not accepted. Never really was, but I think in the end, there were less of "your" people around so, I was someone to laugh with. #Accepted? I'll take it! I was given the SNG nickname and to make me feel even more acknowledged there were Lame Contests to create a SNG logo. (Lame Contests should have its own blog entry.) Anyway, we have been through a lot of changes while others kept moving on or got to spread out to communicate. I still have my "ask Jane" sticky and of course my automatic text message feature on my desk. Like you said, I have been shunned a few times, ok, a lot more than a few but most of the time they were given due to you not understanding what I was saying! #hardheadedmuch Once you left though, a peice of me went as well. The laughs, disagreements, quick eye stares (telling me to shut up), and tech questions made the days go by quicker. It's hard to survive with these changes taking place! This place is definitely not the same and the picture of your chair still remains with how the stand ups are run. Does it sound like you're missed? I will never say I miss you being here, more the concept of my day going quicker. (just to clarify)
So, tomorrow is my birthday and I am thankful for the great encouragements and wishes you have blessed upon myself. This new adventure will be fun and I will try to keep Easy Rider in line... There will always be a room for you and Old Lady at the new casa! Hope to see you soon!
Wow tears much! I didn't even know Skinny could put that many words together #Impressive

That is the craziest thing I have ever seen. Skinny I cannot believe you wrote that much. I almost forgot Lame Contests. Awesome. We all had some good times. Glad I am not there for the end. Too much stress.
Could it be that Skinny has "feelings"?
