Great. Our editor-in-chief who is here from NY just came up behind me in my cube as I was watching French pop videos that a grad school friend linked to in Facebook. It could be work-related, but still.

I like avo on a piece of toast w/ a little salt for breakfast (and some lime if I have it). YUM!

True. I just got an "award" today from production for the awesomeness of my turnover paperwork and manuscript. (And, yes, that's the group that didn't hire me).

Wow, so much waste going on in this office move/clean out. People are throwing out office supplies like used tissues. Those big 3-ring binders are not cheap and I just saw a trash bin with well over 10 in it. Well, I have salvaged a bunch within my own department and for our supply needs in the immediate future. I can't take time to gather more on our final day in the office. I still have to finish packing myself up and clean out my boss's "clean" office.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My first few months on the job, one of the VPs stopped by my cube to borrow a pencil, and I was on TWoP or something, and I tried to click away, but he said it was okay that I was surfing, he knew I worked hard.
Of course, months later, I was watching some video in the morning as I was settling in, and he saw it as he walked to his office and asked if I needed more work to do.

Given that apparently my boss just put in a request for a bigger annual raise for me, it might not have been the best timing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Better after the request was put in than before! Anyway, that sounds like work for you.

When I worked in a department, when we were processing records for destruction, we had to remove hanging file folders, paper clips, buffalo clips, binders...anything that couldn't go through the shredder. We would end up with tons of these things and were always trying to get people to reuse them. Some consultants would take things and bring them to some of the schools they visited who didn't have a lot of money for supplies, but there was a lot of waste.
