Things found in my old email

I have something of a (bad?) habit of emailing things to myself when I'm not at the location where I want said things. I'm sure there is a much better way of managing all of this roaming content, but old habits die very very slowly. And this is a very old habit.

But on the flipside, it can feel a bit like Christmas to go back through the really old stuff in the inbox that I never figured out where to file or had forgotten why I emailed it to myself to begin with. Here are a few choice examples:

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. -- GB Shaw

I'm pretty sure I sent myself this quote (that's all that was in the message, just this quote) in hopes of using it in something witty. Instead, looks like I'm using it in a blog with no readers.

I also found an expertly written resignation letter from my previous job. Unfortunately, the date stamp on the letter said July 2, 2007; I didn't actually resign that post until July 2008. Sometimes breaking up is hard to do. I'd post it online somewhere (it's really good) but I think that might be unwise.
