Making Confetti…

The current working pile and the bag o confetti
I’m 52 years old. And we live in a paper society. I’ll pause while you do the math… dum de dumm..
Did I mention that I hate filing? dum de dum…. [finger twiddling]
Ok… got the picture?
Ah yes, boxes and boxes of unsorted papers that represent the “history of my life”

Eeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy Way….
I was well and truly AMAZED-ed.
See I ur a colludge grad-u-ut! I knows some BIG wurds.
