Mar. 22nd, 2006 12:58 pmFor future reference, over-full hanging folders don't stack on their sides very well. This morning I had a small avalanche off a counter, which would have been all right except the papers took somebody's tea with them. Oops. Thank goodness laser-printed documents don't run when they get wet.
However, there's actual space in the working senior promotions file cabinets now, because I took 14 people out to be archived. Archiving involves throwing a lot of things away, which is nice. I reduced the pile by two thirds just by going through and saying "nope, don't need that, or that, or those, and why are there four copies of those anyway?" The guy who takes away the confidential recycling on Mondays is going to hate me, though.
Last night I left off writing in a place I was both happy with and not done with yet, so hopefully tonight it'll get off on the right foot. I think I'm up around 10-11 minutes now. I have to pack tonight, too, but that won't take longer than about half an hour. Let's see if I can remember to pack the flight and hotel confirmation numbers, which have been stuck on the freezer door for a while now. Actually, I'm pretty good at remembering things like that; I tend to forget incidental things like socks, and things that might keep me from getting bored to death on the way (I'm bringing the Moose and the Civ III CD if I remember it).
Speaking of packing, I'm curious: what do all y'all not travel without for superstition's sake? For me, it's music. I have to bring a U2 CD, generally The Joshua Tree. There's a very specific subset of my music collection that's "traveling music", but whatever I end up taking, there's always U2 in it. That guarantees that things won't go irretrievably wrong. It's silly, but there it is.
One of my coworkers has wanted ice cream for the last week, and now I want it too. Silly brain.
