66. Who Stole My Garbage??

There aren't many things in my cubicle that I'd be upset about if I found them missing. I guess my computer would be one... but other than that my cube is mostly made up of papers strewn about all over my desk. BUT... there are two things which have recently vanished from my cube that may cause me to lash out in a fit of rage if not rectified soon.

These two things would be my garbage can and my recycling bin, which look a little something like this...

What kind of heartless son of a bitch would steal someone else's trash and recycling cans??

Why would something as trivial as two small plastic receptacles no longer taking up residence in my cubicle upset me? Well... I'll tell you why.

First of all, without a garbage can, I can't throw anything out. Usually before I come to work each day I make myself 1-2 peanut butter and jelly sangwiches. Obviously, I don't just put these sangs in my bag without anything to protect the innards of my bag from getting delicious speads all over them. The remedy to said situation is usually some suran wrap. So, to sum up, each day I come to work with one or two sangs wrapped in suran wrap. Once I eat sangs and am full and satisfied I, of course, need somewhere to throw out this, now ball, of suran wrap. And where in the hell am I supposed to do this if there is no garbage can readily available? NOWHERE... that's where. Soon I may be forced to start throwing my ball of suran wrap over the walls of my cube into the surrounding cubes and telling them to deal with it...


Now onto the recycling bin...

If you've read any of my past posts about my office job, you would have seen that there are times when I find myself with nothing to do. What do I do to occupy myself during these sparing times? Well, I usually fool around on my computer. BUT, I don't exactly want to make it abundantly clear to everyone passing my cube that I am in no way doing anything that relates to work. SO, I usually put my laptop on my lap and turn so that I am facing the entrance of my cube (this blocking my screen from passersby). But, this position can get a little bit awkward, and every now and then I like to switch it up. How do I switch it up you ask? I will tell you... I usually turn my recycling bin upside down and use it as a footrest to put my feet up on. NOW HOW CAN I PUT MY FEET UP ON MY RECYCLING BIN IF MY RECYCLING BIN IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND?? Thus, you see my dilemma.


I swear to all that is holy in this world that this situation will start having negative consequences on any and all persons who work in the general area of my cubicle if not fixed in the immediate future. KBYE.
