suns are like birds flying upwards over the mountain

this ordinary old backpack could be considered a time capsule of sorts.  of course it was part of some free swag that ended up on my desk as we were packing up the office at Q West in Ogden...back when that was a thing.  this bag ended up being the perfect size to hold everything that hung on my cubicle walls and sat on my desk.  pictures. frames. ski posters.  mountain bike posters. and all sorts of stuff that i should have gotten rid of years ago.

a week from today i'm opening this bag for the very first time since i packed it up in the old Ogden QBP office more than two years ago.  that's what makes this thing like unto a time capsule.  when i brought this bag home from the office that day i decided it wasn't going to be unpacked.  the wounds of the warehouse closing were still a little too painful to sort through.  i quickly decided to tuck the bag away and not to open it until i have a new job where i will work in an office again.

next friday, July 6th, is my last day at QBP.  as of July 16th, 2018 i will join the team at Petzl as a credit and collections specialist.  i'm excited.  it was time for a change, time to shake things up.  i certainly get the vibe that life at Petzl will be good and happy.

i'll keep you posted next week when i open this time capsule and laugh about all the things i'm still carrying through life.
