I live in Xenia, Ohio. We have both a Bob Evans and a Tim Horton's. Should I be concerned?

Both?! We're you in Xenia in 1974?

Yup. Our attitude nowadays is "Pffhht. It's just an EF-3."

After two of those monsters, yeah, I can understand that. 
I can see you guys pullin' out the lounge chairs, filling the cooler with beer and just watching the damn things spin on by!
I can't imagine what it's like to come out and see what's left after one those.
We haven't seen an F5 up here, on this side of the state, since this beast[^] in 1953. Too bad we don't have an emoticon for "fingers crossed".

Bob Evans is where you have your wedding reception. (Least it's where I had mine... after a courthouse wedding.)

I believe I may have broken the laws of physics today. In preparation for a corporate cube shuffle I have managed to remove a good part of 13 years of parts, product and paper work from my cube. The pile from that takes up more room than the square footage of my cube. I suppose there is the vertical factor of the cube cube footage to consider though.
I’m glad we don’t have a digital cleanup day as I am a confessed digital information hoarder. That would take a week or so to sort through.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I remember some years back how I dealt with my "mess" on the Desktop on my home computer. Everytime I wanted to clean up I created a folder "stuff" and moved everything in there. some weeks/months later the same again (well with a folder named "more stuff" as "stuff" was already taken  )
I've evolved since: I learned to live with the chaos

I have to laugh, I do the same thing. I have three folders on my desktop, two called clean desktop 1 & 2 and one called "stuff" with folders inside of that one called "more stuff". 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Only a week?
I started on a digital clean-up for my new year's resolution and it is still going on.
That seems bad, but what is worse is that the resolution was made in January 2009!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I still have piles of stuff I took home from pervious jobs when I left that I still have in the attic ( I dare not start on them as she who must be obeyed would turn it into a full purge of the attic)

I've reached a compromise. What I download and can be filed easily, I immediately put on my NAS in some folder that makes sense. What's more difficult to file (can't decide where it belongs) goes to a folder named after the download date (YYYY-MM). I create one new folder each month, and on the 31rst, I move everything that's still in my main download folder into it--if I figure it's still worth hanging on to.
So even though it may not be greatly organized, I never have to look at a folder that contains hundreds of files--that's the nightmare scenario...and I have an idea how old something is just by looking at the folder date.
If I needed a filing system more complicated than that...then I'd say storage is cheaper than my time is worth.

we may or may not have arrested you for this offence, we will not know until we have looked
a special team has been detached to remove all the 1's from your digital storage

I'm a bit lucky I guess in that I work with a person who is very neat (in an OCD kind of way). Every so often, usually when I'm on vacation, when thay can't take the sight of my desk anymore, they clean it up for me.

It indeed is a win - win situation.

No, you didn't. You just understood the laws in a wrong way

Your cubicle is measured in area whereas the pile-up takes up volume which is definitely more than the area.

You are, of course, correct.

13 years in a cube - that is worse than 12 years a slave.

wouldn't know haven't seen it yet, but by what people have said you are probably wrong

If you told me I was going to have to spend the next 13 years in a cube I would say "kill me now".
