Hehehe, at least you printed a rather large document and I bet you do not do it often. We have lusers at work that will print every single email they receive, to read it!! Talk about waste there. They will also not use bookmarks, they will print the web page, to later reading… oh boy!

How do you keep from flipping out?!
You anecdote reminds me that for the year 2002-to-2003 our 72-man operation here in our Bucharest HQ used up 36 tonnes of printer/copying paper. It works out to something like ~7,500 sheets a day, or more than ~1,000 per day per employee! Something seriously wrong there!

Don’t you absolutely just love the feeling you get holding a well designed book, one that fits perfectly in the palms of your hands?
I like the aesthetic appeal of having more in your left hand than in your right - it means you’re nearer the end than the start, which is good if, like me, you find yourself constantly racing to the end.

Definitely. Whether it’s the left or right doesn’t matter to me. Right - I am filled with ambition and wonder for what lies ahead, left - the atmosphere of conclusion, and accomplishment.
The smell of books, esp. old books is what really gets me. Like the 1927 ‘Hardy Boys’ collection from my childhood… that feeling that you’re breathing the air from a time gone by, and the strong sense of value of the history that it carries with it… Sheer magic!

Each of us not only ‘has’, but lives a biography reflexively organised in terms of flows of social and psychological information about possible ways of life. Modernity is a post-traditional order, in which the question, ‘How shall I live?’ has to be answered in day-to-day decisions about how to behave, what to wear and what to eat - and many other things - as well as interpreted within the temporal unfolding of self-identity. by casino games
