One thing no one ever talks about being an adult is how much time you debate yourself on keeping a cardboard box because it's, like, a really good box.

Last month I thrice had to wrap stuff in discarded foam stuff, wrap it with half a roll of packaging tape and into a plastic bag - for shipping. Why? Because I threw away those nice cardboard boxes! Dont! It's a trap!

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz My hero is the old lady in whose possessions was found a cardboard box labelled “pieces of string too short to be worth keeping”.

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz And if you have a really cool rock you can keep it in the really good box!

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz I feel seen. I may or may not have dozens of boxes (most empty) hiding behind the books in my shelves.

@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz The decision is easier if you have a cat
