I used to be in charge of stationery when someone asked me to track down a missing stapler in a sea of supplies! It had to the be the specific one. After searching everywhere for it, I just ordered it in the end but I got rumbled when my colleague saw the delivery and joked that I could have saved the trouble by checking the supply closet first! Sometimes it’s just easier to go straight for the solution!
I still cringe to this day!

We all have those moments, don't worry! I once ordered a box of 100 pens. Turned out I ordered 10 boxes of 100 pens for my tiny office 😅

funny

They'll get used eventually 🤣

Thanks for the laugh and the reminder to check the obvious spots first!

Happens to the best of us haha. It's so easy to lose track of things. Or for your mind to just go completely blank because you're too busy focusing on something else.

Yea definitely, it wasn't that important, they should have checked it themselves really.

The missing stapler saga! Office legends are built on less. I swear stationery drama could fuel its own soap opera.

Haha! Yea most definitely, that and the kitchen clean up drama.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
