I have a new found hatred for credit card offers. This morning I went through about a year's worth of unopened credit card offers in order to prepare them for my shredder. There are only about two pages per envelope that have any information which needs to be shredded. To save some work for my shredder, I spent the morning sorting all the garbage out.
Apparently, you can remove yourself from the mailing lists of these companies. I'm not sure how much good this would do, or whether or not they can just resume sending their mail after obtaining your information through some other source. Instead, I will just open it when it arrives, and shred it within a few minutes of finding the "important stuff." You know? What I should have been doing in the first place.
We had been putting it in a box next to the shredder. This resulted in a box that overflowed with mail we were eventually going to shred. Well, eventually came last week.
Unfortunately, my shredder is capable of overheating and will stop shredding when it gets too warm. It will resume shredding after about a half hour of cooling off. This allows for distractions to occur. Did I mention I found my dog's tennis ball today?
