I have inherited nine folders of legacy documentation for The Big Project. Actual folders full of paper. I feel like I just stepped backward a decade.

I should be forgiving though - many of the documents actually are from a decade ago. Still, the vast majority of them are printouts so why the paper?

I could probably bring myself to forgive the presence of this pile of dead tree sheets except for one thing. The folders are pink. No, not "rose" or that very light pastel pink. These are PINK. Flaming pink, you might say. I've already had one coworker walk by my desk, pause, and say "Damn, those are really pink".

Now I've got to get a lock for my filing cabinet.

And a filing cabinet.

2 What, no gay comments from the co-workers yet? If I saw those folders the gay jokes would have been flying.

5 Machelle - I think I've successfully pre-empted those. I put up a sign that says "If you say anything faggish about my folders I'm filing a sexual harassment complaint."

10 What kind of pastel pink? As in Barbie, or labia? (Now how many times can one ue that word in conversation, eh?)

11 I could live with labia pink but what I've got is Malibu Barbi pink. (Not nearly enough. ;-)
