The public business of this office is now concluded.
ONWARD AND UPWARD
And what if it all got printed up...how huge of a tree would that be? A forest of stacks of printed matter: flyers, handouts, pamphlets, brochures, magazines, government gauge softbound eighty volume Kafkaesque Brobdinnagias piled as breathtakingly high as the stacks in the office of the good Principal Mr Gregory Grumm and then some; in arches as architectonically unlikely as loops & tall as an old sycamore with an owl in its crown. It a wonder it's all not laying down.
lets keep the thursday thing going anyway / just not quite as convenient as it used to be / all the more reason to keep going / also i got a wooden nickel left over
By all means. I'll be here for a while, throwing out books. Anybody need a copy of the Nixon Memorial Addresses?
I didn't think so.
Do you have a copy of Nixon's secret plan for "peace with honor"? Dubya ... er ... Cheney may need it.
The NY Post made a front-page story out of the teacher's union dumping a lot of furniture and equipment in the course of moving to new headquarters. The union is a favorite Post target: they're a big Democratic constituency; they're a union; they're mostly female; etc. In short, they represent everything that's wrong with America, let alone education: if we could just get rid of these damn teachers, our kids would all be geniuses! Anyway, my point is that there's no story here. Wasteful as it may seem, this is how big organizations of all sorts handle things. I have just completed throwing away over $89,000.00 worth of books, not to mention all our furnishings and equipment. It just isn't worth the time, trouble, and red tape to find takers for the stuff. And who wants an eight-year-old computer anyway? Somebody, I suppose, but I imagine the garbage man dispersal method is just as equitable and efficient as anything the government could manage.
By the way, I'm available. Cheap.
