#'hey i think we're out of the legal size boxes should i do 8.5x11'

[justthatspiffy]

for somebody who does printing and also worked housekeeping it is hilarious how much of a baby i am about my hands. they are princess hands and they will never harden to the work required of them and every time i break a nail or get a paper cut or a bunch of microabraisions across my knuckles i WILL get emotional about it

#'hey i think we're out of the legal size boxes should i do 8.5x11' #'no i think you can fit the booklets in the three boxes' #'all 600 of them?' #'yeah' #'mmm okay' #gentle reader i did not #i just did the math and i needed 100 booklets in the rows #bc two rows in a box #like i knew that but i wanted to know how thick the paper would be in a perfect world where the booklets are not springing open at me #so for 28 page booklets with 60lb covers #we can say 30 pages of roughly .1mm #and for 100 books i need to put 3000 pages in the box lengthwise #which is 30cm #which is under 12in #and i had 14 inches of box #but the spring destroyed me #things be different when you're folding booklets that are too thick for their own good #i got home from work over two hours ago and i still haven't recovered #gonna try to go do costume stuff tho
