what should go to the dumpster. I would be in the dumpster after work
looking to see if they had thrown away anything interesting. Dumpster-stuff is fair game for the garage at home. I would also check the machine shop scrap bins whenever I walked by. Many times I would find a cache of drill bits, mill cutters and a file or two. I can just imagine... the guy's boss walks by saying "This area is a pigsty! Clean it up!".

Clean shops.
Thats what they used to do where I worked. The section chief would
walk through and say clean this place up NOW.......every drill bit cutter or whatever always was promptly thrown n the trash......I even remember when folks would regularly throw away brand new packs of drill bits and such just so the supply system kept a full supply on hand for when they needed them. If a demand was not shown the items got dropped, so to keep the demand up, and not have to fill out paperwork for a reissue or initial issue, it was easier to trash everything in the supply point one or two times a month. Still goes on today, but I think a good percentage winds up oin Ebay from someone dragging it home and capitolizing on the fraud / waste.

Many years ago, I worked in quarters adjacent to a gov't maintenance facility. The facility manager, over the years, had developed a good concept of his requirements in disposable stores to enable his four man staff to work efficiently, and had built stock accordingly. One weekend, the manager was an accident victim and monday afternoon, a bean counter arrived from headquarters to review the facility and appoint the shop foreman as manager. Late that evening, I got a frantic call from the foreman asking my assistance in moving stores into hiding in my area to preserve them from destruction by the bean counter as "inventory over and above authorized levels" One example was that only two spare outer lenses were authorized for the hood worn by the chap doing heavy duty sand blasting (he used a new one every morning and again after lunch, plus an occasional replacement for accidental breakage) Gerry :-)} London, Canada |

No concept of reality, and a slave to "process". |

I'm not a filthy slob, but I do admit my workshop in the basement is
better organized than the rest of my house. Of course that will change once the wife finally moves in (long story). |

Just think, you may be holding one of those boxes that contained the
ballots from the Bush/Gore campaign. I just know some fool on ebay would buy em at a good price if they knew that. May even get some buying them just to make sure there was not any ballots left in them that should have been counted, and just to be fair some that would buy them just to make sure a ballot did not get counted ;-) On 16 Jul 2003 05:11:59 -0700, Ed Sievers wrote: x-I am a self admitted slob in my shop, but recently found some great metal x-box's scrapped from the Florida vote system.

The local scrap dealer in Ft.Myers is kind enough to let people wander at
will in his yard to pick, and choose. Hope nothing happens to end it all as it is a real candy store for me. Where in Fort Myers? I spend three+ months in Alva volunteering with the US Army Corps of Engineers. We go back to the same position teaching water safety in the local elementary schools this December.
