IT HR-thanks for the info on the rollers and ink. I wasn't aware of this, but I will pass info along. Yes, in the office section, we each have a box to recycle paper. However, I'm not here when the cleaners come, but I hear through the grapevine t…

Are we discriminating against smokers who take their 15-minute assigned morning and afternoon breaks and also choose to take additional breaks to go outside to smoke? Wouldn't we be discriminating against nonsmokers if we paid smokers for the extra …

I like the idea about having two pots--I can mark them "regular" and "strong." This should cut increased use of bags--and resulting complaints about coffee being too strong or too weak--in half--well, if everyone can resist multibagging the "regula…
