| My den move... continues |
[Apr. 20th, 2008|10:17 am] |
Even though I have been working from my new den (CR's old bedroom) for a while now, it's been slow going to get it squared away. I still don't have all my stuff from my old den up here. Just most of it. A majority of the work has been going through my possessions and sorting them. This seems to be the sorting method:
- If I don't want it, and it's trash, toss it
- If I don't want it, and it's paperwork, shred it
- If I don't want it, but think it's still useful to somebody, it's been put in a box labeled as such. So far the Heare kids are going to get many toys, and I have to sneak this past their parents, because with 4 kids, they have far too many toys as it is. They have even expressly asked not to give their kids any more toys. Of course I have to disobey this, it's my job as the "fun Uncle."
- If I do want it, but can't let go of it for emotional bullshit reasons, it gets boxed and labeled.
- If I do want it, but I won't use it for a while, it gets boxed and labeled.
- If I do want it, and it's paperwork, it gets filed
- If I do want it, and it's not paperwork, but small, it's going in a universal "junk box" to be sorted later
- If I do want it, and it's not small... fuck, where am I going to put this? Try again from step 3.
Oddly enough, this isn't all that bad. I have generated a LOT of trash. Right now, I have more empty boxes than full ones. I have even had the "luxury" of throwing away cheap, torn, or stained boxes because I am keeping the more sturdy ones. A pile of empty boxes sits in one corner, waiting to be used, or given to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) anyarm and Brian, when the move out in just a few months from now (sad face). |
