SG, that's a really shitty break. Hope it's all working again now though. :)

oh, and you know what would have made it worse?

If you'd had to do another poo on top of the old one that didn't get flushed the first time.

Thanks the heavens for small mercies huh? ;)

i just really screwed the pooch. i don't know what i was thinking but i just shredded a REALLY important file that i'm supposed to keep for, like - FOREVER! this is not good.:thepain:

Can you put it back together like those Qing vases?

Get out the scotch tape...

Hell, just pull all the pieces off the top of the shred pile and mail them to me, I'll put them back together for a modest fee.

If not, you can get in line at the Chinese Job Fair.

see, the problem there is that i once had a client freak out about the normal little shredder i was using. so i got one of those fancy shredders so that it would take the whole cast of CSI a season's worth of episodes to unravel...

Pah! You haven't met my OCD. Now it's a challenge! It's cross-shredded at what, like a half-inch long? I mean it, I could put that shit back together.

I've always wondered about the shredders that don't "chad" the paper to death. I mean, given enough time, someone could repair the strip shredder kinds, couldn't they?

That's what I love about you, clod! :) I know you could do it.

Actually, you made me doubt. I've never heard of one that "chads" the paper. I'm assuming there are still flat pieces to work with, otherwise I retract my cockiness. :)

I'm just throwing words out there that don't mean anything, trying to be clever. 5th beer and all...but I really have thought about how it wouldn't be that hard to repair shreds if you were really meticulous, loved puzzles, and were OCD. We have that in common!

please don't mention beer :greenface or any other alcoholic beverage

ooops, sorry. ;)

Got word from chaperone (this can't be good, right?) on SonofV's field trip to the roller rink. He fell. He's ok, but when he got up, he left part of his tooth on the deck. Emergency dentist appointment in three hours.
