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.

I think I would've just claimed efficiency: 'Well, I was just going to take them out of the box again anyway!'
No-one would've bought it, but I can pretend.
