The This is In My Top Drawer Thread


In my top desk drawer I have:
a box of green tea
2 unsharpened pencils whose erasers are almost all gone
2 pair of scissors- one is one of them tiny fabric cutting ones, I do not know why I have that
a box of business cards
a box of cold ez (thanks darling for the suggestion)
a ruler
a pad of while you were out paper (not sure why I have that)
staples
altoids
pens

I am out of paper clips


this thing called a survival card. I think my old boss gave this to me or maybe squonk? its a can opener, knife edge, screw driver, cap opener, position wrench, butterfly screw wrench, fork & a metric & imperial ruler all in one.

If my survival depended on the survival card, I'd be in a fine mess.

Well, Web, now that you have done your inventory for the year I hope there aren't any tools missing. You know you can't trust your employees.

I know!

I have one employee that I've busted several times. He's lucky I don't fire him. I don't know how many times I've had something come up missing only to find it later in his house. no.gif

What ever are you going to do with him? Does he at least have intentions of returning the tools to the shop? Does he think he is "borrowing" them?

Ghost, is it used film? Do get it developed...

When I moved in with Mark we were going through a bag of his stuff and there was a used film. He reckoned it would be useless and to throw it away as it was about 10 years old...

Well, I couldn't do that so next time I went along with a film I took his too...and he was quite pleased indeed!

Yeah I think I'm going to try to have it developed, Pip.  I have no idea what's on the rolls or how old the film is.  I was always terrible at dropping film off to be developed.  That was a big factor in why I bought a digital camera.....plug it into the computer and presto!!!.....pictures are there in a few seconds.  smile
