Day 117, moving stuff from A to B



It depends what you are moving.  If it's bits, bytes, electrons etc then maybe you don't need to shift things out of the way, not unless there's congestion at least.  If it's the items you might find kicking around in a box, on a shelf, on the floor - real, tangible stuff - then it becomes a different matter.

In this case the stuff has made it to the floor as part of the process of movement from A to B - is the floor A prime (A') in this case?

So there's this cable bundle.  Modern computer PSUs are pretty groovy, if that's your bag, they have pluggable cables so you can select the right sets and not clutter up the PC case.  What happens over a period of time if you deal with these cool cats are that there becomes a preponderance of spares, a rotten stinking plethora of cables.  Obviously chucking them out into the recycling is the right thing to do, but that rankles hep cats as there's always the possibility that they will come in useful.



At what point is this threshold of keep/recycle reached, how deep a tidal level of cables do you need before action is required?

Dunno.

So in the interim period one is required to continue to make progress in the activity of tidying and rearranging.  So back to the 'shifting stuff' element.

Space has to be made somewhere to enable reorganising and moving items around.  Hence the A' position of the cables.  Thus it becomes apparent that such phrases as 'it gets worse before it gets better' and 'you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs' loosely apply.

That is all.

That is my explanation and reasoning for why my office floor is knee deep in stuff.

It is not an excuse.

No, really.

I rest my case - if only there was somewhere to put it.
