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.
