Plain White Paper
March 2nd 2008 00:25
Some of you will probably think it very peculiar and random for someone to write about “paper”. For sure, it’s not the most interesting or controversial topic of discussion but for me paper is a very important commodity; up there with food and shelter. For example, newspapers, books…toilet paper and the list goes on.
Specifically in this blog I want to talk about my relationship with an old, faithful friend; white A4 paper. I’m talking about the stuff you find in offices throughout the world. And yes, I am a paper-shuffler by trade. Paper, you could say, keeps me in a job. If it wasn’t for paper my days of earning an honest living would be numbered. Being a paper shuffler is all I know and all I ever want to know, because in paper I have found my inner sanctuary. I write on paper, I print documents on paper, I send paper to business affiliates through the mail, I fax paper to my interstate colleagues and as I type this blog the computer-generated page I’m etching my words on looks like a piece of white A4 paper! It is amazing just how much I do use paper. Thank God for trees I say, without them how could I enjoy using my precious paper?
But on a negative note, paper does, and I’m sorry to say this, sometimes frustrate me. I mean there are only so many lever arch files, manila folders and document holders, that look like over-sized toast racks, that one woman can tolerate. It’s like I could possibly have nightmares sometime soon about the “attack of the killer paper”. I have so much paper filed and stored that the sheer weight of it could probably take me down, should it choose to turn on me, the one that loves and cares for it most. But then again, I did complain, so perhaps I deserve it?
