Back To Work Tomorrow
It's been nice to be off work for six days, for various festivities. Alas, all good things must come to an end. Tomorrow it's back to work, starting with the alarm going off at 5:30 AM.

To Sleep. Perchance to Dream.
Perchance to think about work. And about snappy comebacks to doltish, politicking, back-stabbing co-workers. In imaginary situations. That never happen.
Which is a good thing. But is hell on the sleep patterns.

What? A 5-Day Work-Week?!
I haven't worked a full, 5-day work-week since early December. These next two days are going to drag.

Kleenex Police
I never post about my job. I keep my personal life and my professional life separate, and frankly, most of the latter would be boring to others. But we'll make an exception just this once.
I went to get a box of Kleenex today, They're kept at 2 or 3 places in the office, and I was surprised to not find any anywhere. I figured they'd been moved to some new place, so I went to the office manager to find out where. And I was updated on the situation.
Kleenex boxes are now kept under lock and key. You're allowed one box at a time only (no keeping a spare), and if you do get a new box, the date they gave it to you is marked on a list alongside your name. The office manager pleasantly noted this was my first box since the new protocol. The program's been in effect for some time now, and I apparently am not a heavy user.
My company is not normally a Dilbert zone, so there is a rational explanation. It is suspected that employees have been taking boxes of tissues home for personal use. Been there. At the previous place I worked, it was toilet paper. Employees would take rolls of it home by the dozens.
So I understand the need to do something. But seriously, folks?! Monitoring employees' Kleenex usage seems a bit draconian to me. And no, I'm not one of the perps.
