What is it about organizing things that makes me feel good? Anytime there is a mess in an area that I’m going to be working in I have to straighten things out. I can’t concentrate on what I need to do when there is a mess.
The Arms Room I’ve inherited was a complete mess with the exception of the weapons, which of course needed to be in order. Everything else was in piles. Most of the papers were stuffed in drawers and years out of date.
According to the regulations, two years is the longest any paper would be kept on file to track something. I found four and five year old papers and memos. So far I’ve gotten everything out of the drawers and into piles, which I will further, break down into current and shred stacks.
The room is already looking a lot better despite the piles of papers everywhere. It just makes me feel better knowing what I have and do not have. The inspection coming up at the end of the month should go a lot smoother.

Good for you, Rob! Sounds like they DEFINITELY have the right person on the job down there... Proud to know you - and see you doing your best with something that might not have been your #1 choice.
