Cleaning Up

I love to organize, sort, and in general clean things up. I rarely have enough time to keep up with all of the stuff in my life that needs to have the above done to it. This is especially true with regards to my office move of a couple of months ago. The amount of time I had between when I was given a firm deadline to move and when I had to be moved was so small, the only way to accomplish it was to "box-up" everything and move.

The resulting pile of boxes in my new office has been a sore spot for me. I envision myself surrounded with neatly labeled files and drawers, with a place for everything and everything in its place. Instead I found myself not knowing where anything was and without a place for anything.

Happily that situation has been slowly resolving itself. I made it through my vacation by putting boxes in out-of-the-way locations so they wouldn't get in anyone's way while I was gone. Since I have returned I have made steady (if slow) progress on digging these boxes out of their various locations, sorting through them, tossing stuff, filing stuff, and passing stuff along to the new, correct owner of that particular job. It's been fun! (At least for me.)

In addition, my new job has lots less paperwork associated with it. And no old paperwork exists! I get to start from scratch!!! What bliss!
