Clear/colorless, actually, but apparently useful. Art approximating life, instead of imitating it.
If paperwork and clutter reproduce, they are very, very stealthy. I've never caught them out over a duplicate or non-original work. On the other hand, I've noticed that when you have a really good cleaning frenzy, at a certain point it gets easier than you expected...which may be when the spawn are dematerializing.
The worst part for me comes when I need to file all the "little" pieces of paper, the receipts that need to be gone through individually--it can take an hour to whittle down two inches of paper. The easiest parts are when I come to the stacks of magazines, catalogs, and junk mail, and can eliminate garbage by the square foot in much less time.
And of course, I keep meaning to log my writing expenses in a Quicken file for easy export into Turbotax, but I never seem to get around to doing it and here it is August already.
