The tyranny is over

For years I have been keeping all the business cards I've been given.

And for quite a while being kept on a ledge in the living room.

Today there were biblical levels of rain, angled straight again the living room window.

There must have been a leak - small enough not to be noticed for a while but big enough to soak all the business card.

I spent an hour going through them - one by one - then throwing them out.

Many of the people on the cards I couldn't remember. And as these cards were often 10 years old, or older, basically worthless.

The only way to keep up to date is through sites like LinkedIn.
