letting go of corporate
things to let go:
traffic jams
commuting
smog
the brown cloud
staff meetings
getting splashed with slush by a passing bus
alarm clocks
business casual
casual Friday
high heels
happy hour
time sheets
parties you don’t want to be at
social obligations
close talkers
meet-n-greets
networking
looking at your watch
worrying about the meter
parking in the garage with the tight spots
getting out of jams at work
the paper circles falling out of the 3-hole punch
ice breakers
appetizers
hors d’oeuvres
the confusion involved in spelling hors d’oeuvres
ties
filing
annual reports
board meetings
staying awake at conference tables
small talk
performance reviews
hiring interviews
the smell of the office refrigerator
caffeinating to make it through the day
shredding paper
voicemails
choosing between the elevator and the stairs
getting home after dark
leaning your head against the bus window
(ok, maybe keep that last one –
a bit of meditative time
when the world unrolls before you
and you’re suspended between your two lives
having surrendered the driver’s seat for a spell)
