I am the ravager of forests
I really hope that my employer recycles. Last week, I’m pretty sure that I killed a tree, simply due to the paperwork around here. Not a thin tree, either. I’m talking about one of those trees that you can hide a fat person behind. I’m sure that I knocked out the equivalent of a mighty elm in the past month. It’s not really my fault. Well, part of it is. Proofreading on a monitor just does not work. I’m not the first person to say this, and I’m sure that it become apparent if you read some of my poorly typed blog entries.
Back when I was at the military academy, I got a tour of the NSA. Well, two tours. Anyway, at some point we were told that they have a contract with some pizza box makers. Apparently, all of the Top Secret documents, which have been shredded to a level barely above dust (seriously) are then watered down into a pulp, which is then used to make pizza boxes. The pizza that you ate this weekend may have been boxed in what was once some super-secret document on China.
If this were the case at my job, I would have personally produced enough boxes to supply frat parties for a semester.

Hi silly me reporting in. I do hope you have been well. It’s been so *** depressing I have totally stopped blogging and yea journaling. I just do not want to come across as always a negative person. Now, that is just too funny about the pizza boxes. When I worked in the Pentagon we would shred and then place certain documents in the burn bags. I “assumed” these got burned? When I worked at Ft McPherson as Clerk Typist for the Transportation section I would spend weeks just shredding. Things about what we would move during different campaigns. My stepson problem is the weight limits. Being a paramedic he is only able to carry a small weapon. The unit he is with is MP with the GaARNG. He had hoped to stay in full-time. But not sure what has happened but I keep hearing this from other soldiers–wanting to get out. Now remember when proofing step away and if can read it backwards. have taught my daughters how we will see and yes even read what we think something should say. Take Care, Sharon
hahahahaha. Great post.
