These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

They're $18 a box!
One of my coworkers is cleaning out his office. ("I'd say that he has spring fever, but I know it isn't spring ...") As I walked by I spied tons of green, letter-sized hanging files in the dumpster! Those babies are 72¢/each.
Not only are his spendthrift ways bad for this agency's bottom line (and my prospects of a raise), it's bad for the environment.
I hope I can get over there in time and rescue those little green beauties.
"Bob, if you're going to ditch these, I can use them." Scoop and go.
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to rescue them!
They aren't very sturdy though, which may be why he's getting rid of them.
ReplyDeleteThe hospital now has a office day where they collect stuff like that and have it all laid out in a conference room for the taking. There used to be a donation depot for places to bring stuff where I used go when I was a teacher. Reading this post just makes me grit my teeth, did you get them?
