Deal. But I might put off the filing for a while longer. Surely a bit more dust can't make the job any worse than it currently is.

Someone somewhere decided that we can't just throw it away.
Yes, it should be returned to the student, but they way the academic calendar is here, stuff ends up coming in during the last few days, and by the time I can grade it all, classes are over and students have disappeared.
No, they're not duplicates for my benefit. They're the originals. But the students don't want 'em--it's on their computers. I'd love to trash 'em all, but occasionally someone comes back wanting their stuff. One came in today (probably 2-3 per semester do that).
Strangely, my department does not have
any shredder. There's not even a recycle bin (ok, there are recycle bins, but they're just blue trash cans--nothing gets recycled). I guess I'll tear the now-trashable stuff in half and throw the left half away one week and the right half the next or something. *shrug*
