The Paper Shredder

After tackling the attic, I started shredding all the old papers from Alan’s office that he was willing to discard. 11.5 years of papers? That’s a lot of paper.

Our original paper shredder did not work very efficiently. It only accepted 3 sheets of paper at a time, and well, with the volume of papers we had to shred, I started getting annoyed.

Voilà! Alan bought a new shredder. Gorgeous and it sheds up to 8 sheets, but it still overheated until we learned how to use it properly. Alan tested it out first and noted that it can shred only up to 2 minutes continuously and then it must have a rest.

Lesson learned: Shred every year.
