I’m on vacation this week and last, and my office desperately needed cleaning. I finally decided to tackle the filing cabinet I keep in the closet. What glorious, wondrous treasures would I find?
Let me tell you.
- High school poetry
- All the “art” I did for the past 15 years
- My marriage certificate (wedged in with the art for some reason)
- Paystubs going back 5-7 years
- Paystubs going back to 2004 and 2005… for two different jobs that are not my current one
- Income tax returns and info going back to 2004
- Notices of rent increases for our old apartment
- Mortgage application, information, and contract (rendering the rent increases somewhat moot now)
- A photocopy of my high school diploma
- A whole bunch of important papers and then some
I think what’s most mystifying is the fact that I have high school poetry… and I’m 35. I haven’t been to high school in forever. I have a bachelors’ degree, dammit!
At least I’m filing everything?
