I hate filing and sorting through paperwork. Really, who doesn't? 
Even when I convince myself to deal with the piles for say, 15-20 minutes, it doesn't put a dent in the amount of papers I have. This morning, I decided that my goal was to work my way through some of the papers on my desk and folders in the cabinet.
I shredded a whole bunch of papers that we don't need anymore. Pets that died *years* ago. Cars we don't own anymore. I started to go through the folders of receipts and instruction manuals and had to give up. *waves white flag* I had information for sooooooo many coffeepots. Probably 10-15 *years* worth of coffee pots. Iy yi yiii! We go through a lot of coffee pots. Obvs. LOL!
I had to give up after a while because my eyes started to roll around and everything was getting blurry. #crazy
I know that supposedly you are supposed to keep 7 years worth of your tax papers. (Is that still a thing now that everything is digitized?) Why do I have things from when we first moved here 25 years ago?
Have you done any filing of paperwork recently? Did you get any farther than I did? I hope so.
What was the weirdest thing you found? How about the oldest?
The weirdest isn't all that weird, but just the sheer number of coffee pots. That's weird.
The oldest was a folder of typewritten letters of recommendation from when I graduated college in 1992. Can't get rid of them if I ever want to get a job teaching again.
