We went in with the World Languages to buy a Keurig which we all buy our own K-cups. Sadly other departments have discovered this and I found "someone" had used all my cups and creamer. Now we hide our stuff away from the machine. Funny story, it used to be that when we would have monthly staff birthday cakes or if the PTSA had a lunch for us, we would go out of our way to leave some for the custodial crew that comes in at 4:00. One day I stayed late only to find our Latin teacher filling up Tupperware with leftovers to take home for his family. I thought it was rather outrageous since we were going out of the way to share with the night crew. He also ran off with cookies meant for a meeting I was holding after school and used them for his club.

I've even seen a toilet out there after a home remodeling. "Free!"<br /><br />Did I say one of the wealthiest areas of Seattle, above? Yes I did. Yes its true.<br /><br />(BTW, a trip to the dump here ("a transfer station") (right inside the city only 15 minutes away from my neighborhood) for your moldy sofa or mattress, costs you a $20 fee and you're in and out in minutes. These sofas and mattresses are out in front of $1.5-2M homes.)David-2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00127191861958067004noreply@blogger.com
