The joy of filing

We're at the turning of the season here in Melbourne. While spring is the more usual season for clean ups and clean outs, we've also just finished one of our accounting quarters. So it's been a filing frenzy here at Opinionated Childless Woman.

The filing frenzy included a re-organisation and rationalisation of our filing system. Filing systems should not be static. They need to evolve as you do. Retain what must be retained for legal, practical or sentimental reasons, and get rid of the rest.

The joy of filing lies in knowing where all your necessary paperwork is. Knowing where to lay your hand on any particular important piece of 'impedimenta' is a certain hope in an uncertain world.

Tonight, I rest filled with a virtuous glow of successful labour and good intentions. I came, I saw, I filed.
