Spring Cleaning

Last week a SaskTel volunteer and his lovely wife came and fixed our phones!! YAY! He saved us hundreds of dollars, so it was worth waiting for, although some of you had a hard time getting through to us for a few days, there!

Anyway, while I took this couple around, I noticed it was high time to do some spring cleaning! I sent a memo to everyone asking them to begin working on decluttering their offices, and bringing personal items home. So, inspection time came this morning.

Any of you staff who are feeling your blood boil can blame Jarad, because it was the state of random office items that reminded me to check things out.

So, here's the most out of place item for each office:

Melanie: needles & condoms... not so out of place in a Mission, really, as I imagine they were confiscated from a new resident.

Rebecca: hamster cage... Becca, the hamster is dead.

Jack: Zeddy bear... for my American friends, that's a teddy bear that Zellers puts out with their "Club Zed" program. Yes, we say "Zed." I say "Zee" so Jarad feels more relaxed. =)

Ken: (I had to snoop in a drawer to find something random!) A535 stretchy bandage thing for your elbows!

Vicki: Well, she's the most organized of us all... I can't really find a hint of her personal life in there... so I'll say, the poster of Meal Tickets from DECEMBER!

Me: (Michelle) Well, I'm probably the messiest of all... thankfully there wasn't a jack in my office when the phones got fixed! I string a l-o-n-g cord from Jarad's side of the office. (I can't wait to tell you what there is to find in his office. I'm saving the best for last.) Anyway, as for me... I think I'll pick the shoebox of cutlery. Hey, it's real silver, "Hello."

Larry: Larry wins the random item search... I hardly had to look at all. For some unexplained reason, there is a black plastic spatula on his computer keyboard.

Jarad: Oh, where shall I begin... arrows, a bottle of ginseng, assorted plumbing parts (although that is work related) a life sized plastic bear head for his taxidermy, booster cables, cans and bottles of truck gunk, a blanket, a deadly piece of broken glass, and a Kinder Surprise toy still in the plastic egg. (Isn't he odd?)

So, need I remind us all--it's clean up week... AGAIN! However, this was rather fun, so if you don't get to it, we'll see you back next Wednesday for another random round!
