Tuesday, February 9

So today was the day I finally did it.  I emptied out the box from my cubicle.   4 years and 5 months worth of things that I frantically tossed into a company provided box while trying not to cry and make a scene.  Here is my favorite part,  wearing the first of the 2 tiaras I received over that time, I just threw most of it out, well, except for obvious, the silver tiara.  I did keep some of my momentos, my favorite picture of the bus full of school kids parked in front of the liquor store taken on my way to work, my Office Space TPS report covers, my pretty pink stones I picked up out front when I first started because they reminded me of the rocks in my driveway when I was kid.  I am just wondering what the hell I was thinking when I put the half drunk bottle of Diet Coke in the box.  Did I really think I was going to finish it when I got home that night?

Now last week, I had talked about watching Gorillas in the Mist.  This was a movie I picked up at the library because I had never watched it and thought maybe I should.  It is still in the pile with 3 others, The Green Mile, Gangs of New York and Ghandi.  Here is what I realized.  There is reason I never saw those movies when they were new.  I DON'T WANT TO.  So I'm returning them to the library, unwatched and I'm ok with that.  Furthermore, I am vowing to only bring home ones I like going forward, not stuff I think I should watch.  Life is way too short to watch crap.

Signing out.... still wearing my tiara.
