You see this file cabinet?

When I got hired for my current job, this file cabinet was in the back office. Full of files put in there by my predecessor.

After I got hired I took a look in there and said, “I’ll wait a year and see if I end up needing any of those files before I start cleaning it out.”

That was a decade ago.

Two weeks ago I finally cleared it out, realized -surprise – I didn’t need any of that stuff, and got that giant clunker out of the office.

I, like many librarians (and people) can have a hard time parting with stuff. If you take anything away from this short story I hope it is this: don’t wait and see on the file cabinet. Get that old clunker out of there.
