[serious] stationery issue

[abhijit]

how many of you take stationery home from office?

for personal use? fess up...

[sevenhalo]

Actually... We aren't supplied with any. We have to bring our own from home.

I would steal it if my office had this stuff:

I get freebies all the time. For once, free stuff is really annoying.

[wossname]

I stole one of those flat white things you put in a typewriter.

Hey! The wossname cat is back! In Christmas form!

I like to steal penzzzzzzzzzz.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Whenever I go to a meeting, which are invariably held in hotels, I take all the pens I can find. Unfortunately, I never remember to take them out of my pocket before the shirt goes into the wash, so I have like a bajillion mostly ruined pens. I think I'll make a fort out of them.

I have no idea whether to vote yes or no on the poll. I have somewhere around thirty partially used yellow pads lying around my house. Half of them are mine, half came from work. Half of each pad is work related, and the other half is home related. Frankly, I can't keep straight which is which, and I am losing the distinction between home and work anyways.

Does ethanol count?

I always make it a point to move stationery around.

But then it wouldn't be stationary, it would be in motion?

[timeshifter]

Motionary.

I dont make a habit of it but I wouldn't exactly feel guilty taking it home. I have to provide my own laptop for debugging and meetings away from the office and I even had to bring in my own monitor from home for about 2 years. I dont care about the company because it doesnt give a rats bum about me

[Valleysboy1978]

So leave

Try harder dude. It can't be that difficult.

Technically I don't steal stationery from work. I usually intercept the supplier's truck before it gets there.

Does that require special skills?

[wossname]

Not at all, any windows user could probably manage it.

Although linux and unix users will spend several hours tapping at the registration plate with confusion that it could possibly be a keyboard.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

MY goal is to leave work with more pens or equipment that I can get away with

[kregg]

I've had enough of pens. I've got too many.

Trying to flogg them off on eBay.

Did you hear about the guy that got run over by a train?

[BodwadUK]

because he had too many pens?

[penagate]

I'm a stationary issue.

[BillGeek]

Yes, I do take my SINGLE pen home for use (on the odd occasion), but the pen is almost two years old now, and I think I've used it twice now...

Indeed, time well spent. Unless someone drives a car with "rm -rf * &" on its plates.
