To the left, to the left

Everything I own is in a box to my left.

For once Beyonce's words speak straight to my heart. I have slowly been packing my things for my big exit coming up next week and placing them in a box to the left.

Thus far, it includes, my Twins magnet schedule, 2 pictures from my sisters wedding (note: no frames, that would have looked "too permanent") and my BU nalgene that has been filled to the 8 oz. line since early June.

I'm also going to take my unused, but already opened packs of Post-its. I wouldn't want them to go to waste.

Next week I will probably clear my cache, gather my spare change, and bid my farewell.

Luckily I will still be around for the 'Records Retention Days.' This will include everyone cleaning out their cubes and files and disposing of confidential material as well as archiving emails and docs and reporting how many MBs they cleared up.

More importantly, we can wear jeans on these days and get free Subway. I'm not sure why. None of it makes a lot of sense to me but my guess is it will be like any other Friday only with management and more locked waste baskets.

and MOST importantly I will meet my replacement who will be chomping at the bit to get into my optimally located cube.

So although everything in my cube is in a box to the left....turns out I am NOT sasha fierce nor am I irreplacable.
