Hi Gang: 


Before leaving the office for the evening, you slip a ballpoint pen into your pocket or grab a stack of computer paper for your printer at home.

No big deal. Everybody does it, right?

The most common items that mysteriously disappearing from offices include pens, staplers, scissors, tape and batteries.

Taking office supplies has become a "borderline" offense in society, similar to driving over the speed limit on the freeway.

What about our members here? Anyone guilty of this?

I used to work in an office setting. I think the worst I ever ending up doing was bringing pens home.  Also, we had a promotion one day, and we all got these Polo shirts to wear for the day, but were supposed to return them. Well about a year after I stopped working for the company I was going thru some old clothes, guess what? I found that polo shirt. haha.....

Interested in hearing your views.....

I am bad, bad, bad about taking work home.

I've never worked in an office. I used to work in film/television and we would have something known as craft services...basically a buffet of junkfood on set for snacks. I cant tell you how many packs of gum, starbursts, redbull, and M&M's I took back home with me,  it was criminal!

I used to be a makeup artist for a well known show in Las Vegas..I used to take the makeup home with me all the time, it was like stage makeup and I specialized in special effects makeup so it would save me alot of money cuz that stuff is expensive ...my boss was pretty cool about it.

I worked (One Night) at J.C. Penny and that's what one of the temp workers did and she got fired for that..>Sheesh, about the biggest was 40% left on the roll. I thought that was more then a bit picayune...

OOooOO I used a 50 cent word
