my boss has been away from the office for a few weeks and has amassed a pile of mail. i thought it would be nice for her if she returned and found it organized, making it quicker for her to sort through. so i made three piles: a pile of adverts; a pile of routed journals; and a pile of must-see-first items, like invoices and personal notes. i was so pleased with myself as i finished the job, and then it dawned on me that i had JUST ORGANIZED THE MAIL.
