No giant revelations today. The fact is, work has consumed my life for the last two months, and I’m only just now able to be at home and not doing work. As such, progress has been slow.
But, I am proud to say that we’ve kicked off the next phase, and perhaps the most gratifying. The shredding!
This is but a small sample of what needs to be shredded. Sadly, our shredder like most consumer grade devices can only handle a few hundred pages before the motor starts to overheat. Mind you, it’ll keep going, but that’s bad for the life of the machine. If it came down to it I suppose I could retrofit it with a 24V boding double worm reduction motor that weighs more than the shredder itself, but that would be cheating, and probably destroy the gears instead. Because of the bandwidth limit on the shredder, we’ve started shredding before we finished scanning, which is a little intimidating. I can’t say, “Okay, that parts done and solid, now on to the next part.” I’ve been waiting to say that for the last few months, but due to work instead I just look at massive piles of paper that sit there, already scanned, waiting to be shredded, simply taking up space in an ever shrinking office.
It was a little nerve-wracking at first, but quickly gave way to a game of how long I could string together pages without changing the cadence of the shredder mower before the bin got full.
