Cora’s Little Moment of Win

I was sad when they made us change cubicles at work as I really liked the people I sat with. Feeling glum, I was organizing my stuff when I saw that the last person left me a package of dinosaur shaped fruit snacks. Thank you, mysterious 6th floor dinosaur snack ninja! IMMD

    That’s probably one of the best things about moving into a cubicle or office someone else just recently left. You never know what they left behind that you could use. When I was first hired by the company I currently work for 8 years ago, after the guy I replaced left, he had left behind a whole stockpile of candy and snacks, some of which I threw away because I didn’t like what he had left behind, and he had also downloaded and printed out a couple of books, one being a Sherlock Holmes story (“Hound of the Baskervilles”, I think), and Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”.

    When another co-worker was fired last September, a third co-worker was to move into the fired co-worker’s office. She had asked me to clean it out and take what I needed. There was a large box of assorted binder clips and paper clips. I had bought some small drawers I have on my desk, sorting out a lot of the supplies not just by type, but by size (I’m a bit of an OCD Aspie), and a large cardboard box under my desk filled with binder clips. I don’t think I’ll be running out of binder clips or paper clips anytime soon.

    Fruit snacks are always better than what this guy got:

    Nearly every office supply I have, I have gained by someone leaving and raiding their desk. Never snacks though – win for you!

      When a co-worker was fired last September for some stupid thing she did, another co-worker moved into her office, but didn’t want all the stuff that was left in there. I went in there and did a major cleanup, and now I have enough pens, markers (one of my regular jobs is to color plans and plats for land acquisition), paper clips, binder clips, staples, and rubber bands to last me a lifetime. I have a large box full of assorted binder clips, that never seems to empty out. I restock a couple of small drawers I use to put them in, but I still get a bunch from files turned in to me. I’ve probably got enough paper clips to make a chain about a mile long.

    I had a shit week last week, and have been sick all this week. But when I read about the ninja, I laughed so hard I cried. THANK YOU!
