Sadly, they know that most people are nice and will not challange them. There is at least one at every job. I used to blow him off and just replenish the supplies, but now that its just him and me, its a constant annoyance. Today, I reached for a tissue and the box was empty. Ticked me off. Again. He used the last ones and couldn’t be bothered to toss the empty box away and leave me a note or tell me that I needed to bring more in.

My latest work rant. Its finally spring. I work in a windowless warehouse. The only time I can see the sun is if I sneak out on my lunch break. While I’m working, I can hear the Harley’s riding past. Don’t you people have jobs? Stop riding past and making me jealous that I can’t be riding as well!
