Today I got to work and found a system email saying that because I had been someone's manager (and that person has resigned) I had to review their personal website to see whether I needed to save anything important as it was due to be deleted soon.
It kind of filled me with dread, but I was glad to see that there was nothing in there besides their photo which appears on the site.
However, it got me thinking about mine. It was telling - there has been nothing new put in there since 2008. How about that? Well, anyway, it made things easy. There was so much that was out of date. Forms and templates I had saved, ideas on how to improve (now obsolete) systems. I cleaned up a lot of it, but there are a few folders where I'm not sure whether its needed. I guess I haven't even looked at these things for the last 3 years - why would they still matter?
I hope I get through it. It would be a big headache if someone else had to wade through these documents and decide if they were important after I'm gone.
