Your game room is already sweet as hellz, and you should post some pics sometime.

My entire department is about to move cubicles. We're heading across a lobby over to related departments as opposed to our current location in the midst of the Properties folks(the original plan was for Properties to move, but that got nixed in the Great Layoffs of 2014). I just went and checked out my new cube, which is a bit larger than my current, with way more counter space and a closet. I open the drawer and...

BOOM!

Leftover office supplies! Woo! Brand new plastic case for my employee ID.

It's the simple things in life that matter.

Whenever we move offices I always feel like I am Hendley the scrounger from The Great Escape. I have gone so far as to swap cube walls with empty cubes after hours - but that was at the office they later found a raccoon in the ceiling of.

Please tell me you've used people forgetting their employee badge as blackmail material.

At my company taking someones badge, even as a joke, is a friable offense. So I dont go near them. I am also not really one for office pranks. I did have one rep with so much braggadocio when he was in the office you could cut it with a knife. Well one day my boss said he wanted to take him down a notch so the night before one of our quarterly big meeting days, I talked our facilities guy into replacing the gang box in his cube with a dummy one and filled up every open cube or office with marketing materials or old equipment. The guy went absolutely ballistic.

The value of the Japanese Yen continues to plummet. Now is the time to take a vacation to Japan, folks. Now 1 Yen = .0081 U.S Dollar

No doubt!

I have only heard the most general of reports about the case but I wonder if this was going on pre-subway fame or if it was all after he became the company spokesman.

Started in 2007 apparently and went on up through 2013.
