Actually, seven boxes. Loosely packed. Looking at the way things were put in, I bet they could have fit it all in four boxes. Even so, getting them was
emotional. I cried on the ride home.

Good news out of that, though -- I pulled out my rolodex and found I still had all my recruiter names and numbers. Even better, I've confirmed that my very
first recruiter, who got me my first job in NYC, is still in the business, and president of his own firm now.

Oh, and when I got home from picking up my stuff there was a call on the answering machine from yet another recruiter. I spent a half-hour on the phone with
him. He even looked up my books on Amazon. We agreed I wasn't right for the job he called me about, but he'll be watching for other positions I'd
be good for.

Gotta mow the lawn this afternoon, but after that, or tomorrow, a lot of people who haven't heard from me in twenty years are going to get calls...

Mood: Best I've been in for days.
