I love finding stuff at work. I have a habit of taking things from restaurants I work in. These things are more along the line of packaging items. there is always a new potato bag or tomato box that can be used for clip art.

The only thing of value is a framed chicken feed bag that I still have. I put ticket stubs and flyers on it.

I work at a print shop that does adhesive labels.

I have a wide variet of danger and warning stickers at my disposal.

A while back we did some labels for Greg Norman wines, so I sent a few of the "Greg Norman" labels to electrical.

I have a nice sticker of a hand getting caught in a chain right above my chain/cranks on my bike.

Mandroid got a sheet of unicorns.

I love the ones on the stationary tilting barrow? It says Keep Hands Away From the? Rocker

I can't liberate one of those for the life of me.

I also know what a bunghole is from them stickers.

Cool things I've found at work:

CTA 30 Day Pass (Not expired, still had about two weeks left of use on it, just laying on top of some CDs)

Weird CDs that fall from the cieling (Back in the early 90s, the store started sticking/hanging the tons of promos they'd get from the cieling. I got one last month from some atrocious country band... it was an amusing listen. I always make sure to take these because they'd just throw 'em away. Hopefully, something good will fall one day.)

Any good metal promos that come in.

1 whole, perfectly clean non-smoked Camel cigarette.

Not so Cool things I've found on the floor at work:
1 Dead Moth
1 Piece of Chewed Gum
1 Mysterious Ice-Cream Like Substance (I still have no clue what the fuck it was)
Many pieces of pizza throw around in the parking lot by godawful Victory Records band "1997"

1. A person to have sex with

2. Expired condoms

3. A reason to die



These are all UNrelated, I swear. No little Boombatses running around, really. I just find some jobs to be suicide-inducing.

six boxes containing 300+ vinyl albums. about one third of them were any good. most of the covers were pretty worn, though. the records play fine.

some of the gems: almost the entire Mother's collection, Joy Division "Unkown Pleasures," Neu 2, Kraftwerk "Ralph and Florian," No New York Comp, King Crimson "In the Court of the Crimson King," and Gary Numan "Replicas."

I had not thought of that... Dear Greg Norman, if you would like discount on your line of clothing let me know...

I found an Iron Maiden Video Game called "Ed Hunter"
It is kind of like Doom... But with Maiden!!! It also has a best of cd.

I found a nice computer game called "Whack your Boss". Very liberating.

Everyone who loves his boss as much as I do should try it:

Sorry if it has already been posted...

Over ten years ago I worked at a university library. In a computer storage room in the basement I found a fancy coffee-table book, clothbound with a matching slipcase. It was a commemorative volume to celebrate the "independence" of Ciskei, one of the bantustans created by apartheid South Africa to strip blacks of their citizenship and residency rights.

As a work of printing and binding it was exquisite; page after page of full-color photographs of the "country's" infertile, unfarmable land and smiling deportees from the cities, stranded in shacks in the middle of an ugly, blasted landscape. A remarkable piece of propaganda as well, full of paeans to self-reliance and anticommunism.

I considered it too odious to have in my house and so left it be, but was glad that the university had stuck (what I assume was) an embarrassing donation out of sight, even if they lacked the stones to throw it out entirely.
