we don't need no stinking trees!

I think I killed a forest.

Seriously, the amount of paper I went through this weekend was incredible. See, I spent much of the weekend printing up reports for work. All in all, 84 reports of approximately 23 pages each, plus another 84 reports of approximately 8 pages each. How much is that? Let me get a calculator. 2604 pages.

Yeah. That’s a lot.

I should probably feel guity or something, but I don’t. I’m just too relieved that last week is over and the reports are finished, enveloped and off to their respective recipients. I spent 20 hours of over time getting the buggers ready. That’s OVER time…time spent over and above the normal 40 hours in a workweek. But who’s complaining? Certainly not the girl who worked an additional 18 hours at the Fish serving food to pissy customers. Nope, not her.

Actually, I’m not complaining. My dedication to work has paid off in the end, both metaphorically and literally. In the realm of metaphor, I’m taking the overtime and turning it into a long weekend off sometime in the not-too-distant future. I’ve got a plan to go to Sudbury for a couple of days. Don’t laugh, I’ve got a friend who lives there, that’s all. As for the literal part, I made some sweet dough. I love the instant gratification of cash. Wads of pay stubs just don’t do it for me, I don’t know why.

Anyhow, seeing as I should probably be doing something in the area of work at the moment, I’m going to take my lunch break now.
