I work in a "remote" field location and make it up to our headquarters a few times a week for meetings, etc. I was there the other day when one of our staff asked me if we use legal size filing cabinets for our paperwork. I replied that some of us do and some of us don't. She led me back to a filing area and showed me boxes and boxes of misc. legal filing items - manila folders, etc. She also showed me many clear shoebox sized boxes. Apparently, the staff was making changes and had no use for these items. I was welcome to them or they would be placed in the trash!!!! That day!!!! I picked all of them up in a hurry -- the thought of wasting these items (all of them unused, by the way) was making me cringe! I told her to call me immediately before anything else gets dumped -- there might be a use for it out here. The items were hauled back to the office for use in the wild blue yonder here. Hmm.... except now, I have no excuse but to get a bit more organized.
