the great shredsperience, phase two

Last night, after all the sorting and de-paperclipping, we loaded up my car with one box and 8 grocery bags full of old files, ready to be shredded and past ready to be out of my house.  Today we drove to the Afdent parking lot where three semi trailers were sitting, ready to be loaded with shredded paper.  After all my worry that I might be bringing too much paper or it might take a really long time to shred, or I might have to haul the bags to the shredder with the help of my two loyal minions, it was embarrassingly easy. I drove in, being directed by helpful people all the way, willingly made my donation to their scholarship fund, and proceeded on to the shredder. Four burly men and one willing woman opened the back end of my car, dumped all of my paper into two garbage bins (it filled them both), dumped the bins into the hopper and hey, presto, the shredding commenced and I drove away, feeling blissfully lighthearted. Hooray for powerful technology.
