This appears to be a recurring theme.
Okay, yeah, so I love books. Okay, yeah, paper in general. I must have been a printer or paper maker in a previous life.
However, today, I filled up yet another a paper grocery bag full of the paper and old manuals and threw them all away. I didn't stack them up "to be dealt with later." No, I bagged up the manuals, piled up the old phone books, tossed the no-I-probably-won't-use-it paper, and walked it all out to the trashcan. I finished the process by wheeling the trashcan to the curb.
That's 1.5 cubic feet of paper no longer taking up space in my house. A small, but quite satisfying cleanout that's about to inspire a complete bookcase cleanout of old technical books that I just don't need.
So long, suckah!
