Last weekend or so I rummaged through my jewelry box and sorted it out a bit. This morning I spent a few minutes polishing up some of the silver pieces. There was a fish pin given to me by my junior high homeroom and math teacher, Mrs. Lehner. There was a very inexpensive silver bead on a chain that always gets admiring looks. There was another necklace, much older and a long-ago purchase of a young working girl.
And then there was this, the thimble cage given to me by my little office of co-workers when I left the CopyCenter in the NYS Assembly.
Their other gift was a small wooden box with: the over-ride key that I’d always longed for – that would have let me run the big Xerox DocuTech with its doors open. I still have that too, a fond memento of my days with what was then state-of-the-art…
As a bonus, here’s something that was a gift from a cousin many years ago and which still reminds me to “do the work!” every day.
