"The tree-killer, the tree-killer!"
I've been cleaning out my desk today in preparation for classes next week (I've avoided it pretty much literally as long as I could). I'm finding a lot of useful things along the way ("Look! A stack of handouts I didn't have time to use in class last year. Guess what my students will be doing in week 2?"), but probably the central theme of the day has been the sheer quantity of paper that I've got piled up (and that's just the stuff that didn't end up in my students' hands: extra handouts or homework that was never picked up).
I keep glancing around nervously looking for angry Ents.
