cosmolinguist | [71/365] kindred spirit / partner in crime

A really nice thing happened yesterday.

I'd seen an e-mail the other day from the person who ran the RNIB focus group I did the other day, the one where I was surprised that almost everyone was on the same page and got along so well. This person was telling us one of those people had offered her e-mail address if people would like to stay in touch, "saying she found everyone in the group brilliantly articulate and encouraging."

She was my favorite, the one who had among other things come up with that "My biggest limitation is your vision" slogan I love so much. So I was really glad to see this and managed to overcome my inability to respond to e-mails in a timely fashion by writing to her only a day or two later. I wrote very simply after I got back from work yesterday, as part of a bunch of e-mail related chores I was trying to get through.

Before I'd gotten very far into the next one, I had a reply already! It included "I'll confess that I had a double motive for my email to [the person who'd e-mailed us sharing her address]: I was interested in being in touch with everyone but I particularly wanted to connect with you. A. I felt you were a kindred spirit and/or partner in crime!" Aww! It's so delightful to be singled out, especially having met in a Zoom meeting. And it's great to have the same impression of someone that they apparently had with me!

We have a phone date tomorrow morning already to talk about how she thinks I can help a project she's involved with (another blindie thing) that I love and that's right up my alley that I have no idea how I can help with but I'm looking forward to finding out!
