#72: People will throw just about anything on the sidewalks and the grass, including glass bottles, plastic bags, and things my dog likes to eat that will make him sick.
It took me a little under an hour to exacto the binding off my biggest casebook, pull the pages apart (in sections, which means I’ll be pulling pages apart for months), and punch holes in them with my dinky holepunch.
The result is not the way I wanted my cut casebook to look–the back edges of the pages are icky with little shreds of book glue, and a fair number are wrinkled and puckered from being pulled away from the glue backing. But all the pages are in a binder–all but the pages for this week’s classes.
One more casebook to go! That one is half the size, though, and I’ve already done this thing once. I can knock it out tomorrow morning while I wait for Peapod.
Stupid national chain copy shop.
They no longer cut the bindings off books because it damages their blades. Further, they now charge 3ยข per page to drill holes through things, which means that JUST having holes put in one of my casebooks would cost me $21. TWENTY-ONE DOLLARS!
That, my friends, is ridiculous. Ri-gosh-darn-diculous, in fact.
So I’ve cut the binding off the big one myself. Now I’m dithering on whether I should start punching holes in it myself, or take it to school or another copy shop and try to use a heavy-duty hole punch. (Mine only does about 10 pages at once. Yeek!)
VERY frustrating, people. VERY.
