acts of collossal stupidity : no. 17 in a series (collect the set!)

so i'm packing up my desk for two weeks in the desert while my floor's asbestos-infested ceiling is rehabilitated (the floor in question is the level of the building, not the actual floor: those asbestos-infected materials are going nowhere). i come across a collection of small boxes and toss them cheerily in the trash. a few moments later i come across the stapler, tape dispenser, pencil sharpener and other items once housed in these boxes. i carefully lean over and pull the boxes these items are about to return to from the trash, thankful my staff have all gone to lunch.
