I won't bore you with my day

[valis2]

other than to tell you that I was very sleepy.

However, I did giggle at one point. While going through governmental administrative regulations regarding workers' compensation, I found this quote (twice):

Benefits may be achieved through therapeutic rehabilitation and rehabilitation intentions, after boney union has been achieved.

ETA: Also, this morning Husband saw a van drive down our street and stop at our driveway and take our paper bag full of paper and cardboard recycling. Huh? Is this for identity theft? Well, there are things in there with our address/name on them, but I shred nearly everything else.

Also, thank goodness I shred my story stuff, because can you imagine the hilarity that would have ensued when they emptied the bag and found dozens of small scrawled extremely slashy notes?

ETAETA: I think I should shred the boney union note just in case.

The person in the van was probably selling the paper to some recycling outfit. Believe it or not, theft of recycling stuff is rampant in some places and the city gets mad about it because they want the money from the recyclables.

I knew someone would have an answer! How surprising--I really had no idea. Our garbage service is privatized, but clearly there's still money to be had by stealing them, apparently.

I know the city in which I live makes something like $50 per bin full so it can be big money.

Wow, that's amazing! I had no idea. Well, that explains why they're driving along and picking that stuff up.

We've taken to burning anything that could be used to hurt us. In the summer, we burn it in our backyard firepit, and in the winter, hubby will take shoeboxes of stuff as they fill up and dump them in the furnace of one of the greenhouses he works at. Our shredder pooped out on us, and we're too cheap (lazy?) to buy a new one, so we burn it, baby.

I am a shredder nut. I shred anything with identification numbers on it, and those checks that credit card companies send out, that sort of thing. I cut the papers into pieces and shred the first sections all at once, then the second, etc. And they never go out in the same bin. Plus, I make Husband put coffee grounds on top. lol.
