Did I forget to mention my discovery at work last week?
Obviously we have a shredder at Customer Service for, well, shredding ^-^
I walked in to see a rather large…box-type thing for shredding. I’m thinking, “did we get some sort of industrial shredder…the little shredder is still here. Hmmm”
So I check it out, and it’s just a box for documents to go into that need to be shredded. With a service number on the front….and now our little shredder is gone.
Anything that needs to be shredded goes into this case, and some company picks it all up to be shredded.
I know, I know–there are legal reasons behind it, but still. We can’t afford to schedule enough coverage, but we’ll pay someone to shred documents for us!!
I really want to just throw in a sheet of paper that says, “Your job must be really fucking boring.”
Then again, I think I could sit around and shred documents all day. As long as my iPod could come along.

in douglas at the library, we had to shred old internet agreements. we couldn’t just trash them and burn them; we had to shred them, and all these babies had was someone’s signature on them. when there was nothing else to do, we would go through this big filing cabinet and weed all the old internet agreements from the folders. then we’d have a shredding party. i think we had to buy like, 3 new shredders when we were doing that just because we kept tearing them up…those little shredders couldn’t handle shit. anyway, it was a really boring task. i used to take my ipod with me in there and just keep the volume relatively low so i could hear if someone called me or not. shredding shit all day isn’t fun.

Now you KNOW you would end up dropping the iPod into the shredder…
