I kind of miss going over and smacking that dude upside the head when he would clank his metal spoon against the glass bowl during his early lunch...

 
Is clipping nails while sitting on the toilet at work any better? asking for a friend
I'd rather that since even tho we have stalls in our bathroom, it's usually only 1 person at a time.

i used to hear my boss do that in his office every Monday afternoon.
In his office is a little better than our open floor plan. And she does it at least once a week, just a couple of nails. 

 
I think ive put staples in my work stapler twice in 9 years. Yes, ive had the same stapler the whole time. 

 
I have a classic Gray (sorry Milton) Steel Swingline 747 that weighs a ton.  I have had it since 1993 and it is stamped Made in the USA .  I also have a black swingline 711 in the drawer, which is a compact stapler.  My wife has a gray Swingline model 545 that is a plastic piece of crap.  I am sure I acquired the latter two when I switched jobs as a Going Away present and gave her the crappiest one I had.

 
A few weeks ago I ran out of the package of staples for the first time ever. I thought they were auto refill because they never seem to run out
They dont. We have like 18 boxes of 5000 staples and its just "why are you ordering staples when they come wi the stapler?!"

I have a white swingline, only one. And when I relocated within my company, you betcha I took my stapler with me

 
We have "shared" supplies like staplers now.  They had to lock up our supply room because stuff started disappearing.  You have to put in order and one the Administrative Assistants willd bring it to you.  I am sure there is master list somewhere.  I wonder if the cases of hand sanitizer, Toilet Paper, and Lysol wipes are still there.

As far as staples go, I remember seeing a box about ten years ago in one of our drawers next to a Windows 98 CD and charger for Motorola cell phone.

 
People weren't meant to sit in cubicles.

Some of Office Space never made sense to me until my current job.
Idk how you changed the quote but @ruggercsc apologized to Milton, not me lol

I miss being in the field more. Thankfully, I'm back on a client that lets me do site visits. I just gotta fly or drive to rural PA or OH lol

My bad I don't either.

i miss field (75 % at least) too, but I got to point where the physical drain was too much. I could do still mental part.  Almost 10 years and still not used to primarily office.

I've got a guy on my team who won't go on a site visits. And I'm just like "welp, i'll go then!"  I typically have dibs anyway as the most senior and the one who jumpstarts every project we have
