Yay! The following story was submitted by a guest contributor, Nightmare. I must say, this is an excellent post and a perfect Throwing-Rocks story:
One fine Monday morning, we all came in to find our trash cans had been REMOVED from our cubes. Waiting for us a was a cheery email letting us know that we'd all be responsible for putting our trash/recyclables in the main bin located on each floor from now on, and hey "thanks for helping save the company money and keeping us 'green'!" Fine, but do you think we could have kept our trash cans at least and emptied them ourselves???
By noon, every cardboard box in the place had been snatched and placed under desks to serve as makeshift trash cans by myself and my fellow residents of Cubistan. Those not fortunate enough to get a box simply saved their plastic bags from the cafeteria and hung them on their cube corners to fill with trash. Others just pile their trash up on their desks till it starts to bother them and then make the trek across the cube farm to the main bin.
The best part? The nice cleaning lady who came by every night at 5:45 to empty our trash cans STILL comes by to pick up our trash and has slipped several of us a roll of trash bags, saying if we leave them for her she'll pick them up, because she thinks it's ridiculous that they took our cans. She still has to stop at every cube to dust and vacuum anyway!
Because Cubistan now looks like a refugee camp so some management jerkweed could mark a bullshit cost-saving "goal achievement" on his yearly review, I throw rocks.
