As part of our office move to the near building, we’re all supposed to pack up everything in our offices and get it ready for the movers. My office, though, was full of papers. Really, not anywhere near as bad as a few people had in the past – I remember a Linda N. whose office had paper stacks literally reaching up near the ceiling, and Ted T. was similar. Yet mine was pretty bad!
However, the prospect of sitting there in my office sorting papers was mind-numbing. So yesterday I got everything into 15 boxes (except the contents of my smaller bookshelf, and my computer, which is supposed to go into some orange crate thingie), and then I borrowed a two-tiered cart, and (in five trips) I got it all down to the employee entrance. This was fun! We don’t have an elevator, so I pushed the cart up and down our long, long ramp, which has two hairpin turns. By this point, J. arrived to help, and we loaded up all 15 boxes into his car (which filled the whole thing).
Now it’s all in my livingroom. This afternoon I went through four of the boxes, recycling about 70% of it; I hope I can keep that up and have only 3 or 4 boxes to take back to the office. It is ever so much easier to sort through papers with cartoons or football on in the background!
