What’s left of me
posted in Working Moms, Mom Rants |I thought packing up your office was supposed to be a cathartic experience. I went into the task of cleaning up mine to move to another one (with a better view) wondering what kinds of trinkets and treasures I’d uncover. For other moves I’ve done, like to a new apartment or different city, packing has always been about discovering things forgotten. An old diary. A funny photo. Ratty old t-shirts.
But as I found out earlier this week, unfortunately, all I really had to show for my last three years of work was a lot of junk. And a scary obsession with hygiene.
I found books that probably shouldn’t have been buried under paper and folders.
I hope I’m not getting rated on my office organization abilities.
I discovered I have a fetish for mugs.
Do you want some dust in your tea?
I realized I had missed opportunities.
A research folder about blogs from 2003. I could have been a bazillionaire by now.
I discovered I’m really not all that tech savvy.
Who uses a handspring anymore?
And came to the conclusion that I’d rather be clean and well-medicated than smart. Seriously, who has a whole drawer dedicated to toiletries?
Just in case CVS closes at 4 p.m.
Please tell me you all have something more exciting sitting around in your office.
