So ideally her plan is to win the lottery and never come back into work again! Then its time to find some cabana boys and lay on beach with a margarita.

In order to do that, personal stuff should fit in a box, that can be mailed to you and should only take about 30 minutes max to pack. She has been encouraging all of us to do that.

Well, with lots of reorganization at work, I've had the "opportunity" to clear out my desk. I've been here about 7 years, in this desk, and man I have accumulated lots of stuff. Today I got rid of a whole lot from one drawer, and while I am not at one box yet, it is getting closer. I'm not leaving my desk or my job, just a cleansing of sorts.

It is a bit of a nice and freeing feeling. I've always been a bit of a hoarder. So its a change, but I like it.

And it's been a stressful week, and shredding paper makes me feel better. And while "fire cleanses", burning is sort of frowned upon in a library.
