Office Clean Up Day

We spent most of the day — the entire afternoon, actually — cleaning in the office. Throwing out old folders and manuscript printouts, consolidating file drawers where we could, and packing up books to be shipped back to our warehouse in Kentucky. It’s all in preparation for our upcoming move in the spring. Or maybe late winter. I don’t think that, or even how much shelf and storage space we’ll each have there, is set in stone just yet. We’ll almost definitely need to do this a couple more times before the move, but this should mean we have just that much less work to do then.

And really, some of those old papers just needed to go.

The most exciting part of the day — besides the free pizza — was when I discovered the office does have a shredder, and I could use it. Which, in retrospect, sounds almost not even a little bit exciting. But hey, that’s about you can hope for on Office Clean Up Day.
