Transcript:
Cathy: Don't keep that letter in the computer, honey! We'll forget it's there an never see it again!! We have to print it out and file it! Irving: If it's stuffed in the file cabinet we'll forget it's there and never see it again, either. Cathy: At least in the file cabinet it will be in a nice, fresh folder with a label on it, not just lost in cyberspace! It will have some dignity! I used to organize our important documents. Now I try to give them a proper burial.

Get an “IN” and an “OUT” desk basket like at work. "IN"’s could be for attention later, and “OUT” could be the waste basket.

Reminds me when our office attempted to go ‘paperless.’

I’m just the opposite. Don’t give me a piece of paper that I have to go find in a file. I can open a file folder on my computer and there it is. If it’s not where it’s supposed to be, I can do a file find and, yup, it’s there. Plus I can quote it, forward it, edit it….

Either way, it will go away quietly. Another 10 or 20 minutes of your life you won’t get back.

A moment of silence to remember the Letter. May he rest in peace (or pieces :-)).
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Wednesday! Have a great day, all!

I can still find a paper document faster than I can find an electronic one. Searching electronically can take a long time if you cannot remember what folder it is in – especially when you have two 3TB hard drives with about 4TB of data stored. My memory for physical locations works better than my memory for electronic locations.
Blech! It just started to snow/rain/ice pellet. I blame lindz.coop as the wind is from her direction. Think I will stay in the rest of the day. Hope you have a safe, warm day.

Ya can’t win sometimes with papers and technology. At least, I know I can’t.
