okay, i wasn't going to update about this because it's stupid, but it's bothering me so you get to hear about it.
in my office i had this big pile of recycling going--soda cans, snapple bottles, odwalla bottles, glassplasticcans, everything. it was the accumulation of two and a half months of drinking beverages in my office. at one point i had even brought in a case of pepsi. i had a bunch of stuff. then last week (i think) i rearranged my office, because i suddenly had extra space because the water cooler that was here got removed and so did the eight or so empty jugs that were taking up space under my shelves. i put the typewriter on a desk-high shelf instead of on top of the filing cabinet, which is far more convenient, and i took one of my many trash cans from the Stack O' Cans under my desk and put all the recycling in it and set it next to the fridge. i figured that since i'll be driving over here pretty soon to drop off my plants, i would pick up the recycling then and take it over to starmkt to get cash for it. i had at least a buck's worth of stuff, maybe more.
so today i realize that the can next to the fridge is empty. i'm guessing that whoever mysteriously empties my regular trash also emptied the recycling can, which i have to admit wasn't marked as such but was still pretty obviously just recyclables. i know that the cleaning person was just doing his/her job, but really, those recyclables sat there for weeks and weeks and now just because they're in a can they're fair game? i hope that first of all the cleaning person recycled the stuff, and secondly that this person took the stuff and got cash back for herself, but who knows. i have now put a sign above the can to identify it as a recycling can, so hopefully the cleaning person speaks english and won't empty it again.
i know it's just a stupid piddly thing, and if harvard provided me with free sodas i wouldn't care. but since i bought the soda myself and since i have the opportunity to get cash back on the empties, i want to actually do that.
oh, and i walked all the way over to the athletic center in the rain only to discover that yoga classes are canceled all this week on account of spring break. what, we staff people are nobodies? the noon yoga classes are mostly staff people anyway. it worked out okay because i stopped to get my new t-pass, since i had to do that anyway and if i hadn't gone over there for yoga i would've had to leave work early to pick it up. but still.
and i hope you all realize: for any post upon which i use the "grumpzor" icon, you can pretty much skip it because i'm just whining about something and will probably get on your nerves anyway. of course, if you're bored you are welcome to read my grumpzor posts and respond grumpily yourself. (and btw, isn't this grumpzor icon way, way better than the buffy one i had before? i think so.)
