i could have kept some monitors i brought home for wfh use. they only tracked laptops at that gig and that was the only thing they specifically asked for back.

but honestly they were trash so why bother? i would have just recycled them my now anyway. probably would have saved them money if I’d taken them

years and years ago i worked for a place that sold music online. i ran dev + ops on the ingestion side, so i had direct access to the flac/aiff/wav/mp3 that the labels uploaded

did get me some pre-release copies of various albums every once in a while, even had a script for fetching all files associated with a sku :yarr:

never shared any of them cause that was when they still cared bout prosecuting

The vending machine at my old job had just one item where if you gave it exact change, it would vend the item and all of your change back except for one nickel. It was one of those bags of snack mix with like cheezits, pretzels and chips that nobody would ever buy when you could just get a chocolate bar or a bag of the type of chips you actually want, so I don't think anyone knew except for the guys on my team.

It worked for about three or four months before either someone snitched, or the vending company finally noticed the huge increase in this one particular item being sold.

back in '08 I got a call at 11AM call on a Saturday morning from a friend CJ'ing at a home mortgage company, who said something like this:

'empty the trunk of your car, the company is done and we're getting paid'.

Spent a few hours there, got a 2u quad socket opteron server, a juniper gateway, a 3com switch and all the copper and DIMMs I wanted.

My only regret was not taking some of that sweet SPARC hardware. :(

Who steals my sparc steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;

in my teens i briefly worked a newly opened restaurant where the owners girlfriend was the day-to-day manager. After a few weeks, she called everyone in to a meeting demanding to know who stole all the pens. Apparently we had gone through 100 of those cheap-rear end bic pens in the first few weeks... when a colleague said that in a restaurant with 5 cooks and 10 waiters on each shift, its a miracle we didnt go through more, she lost it and said she would not supply us with any more...

after that i made sure to pocket a pen every shift, and a few weeks later she started suppplying us with pens again.

she tried the same tactic when she thought we were using to many dish-cloths. Closing a full restaurant + kitchen with 3 cloths got pretty tiring fast.

sidenote: restaurant was open for about 6 months before going bankrupt. i went by the evening before we all got told we lost our jobs. the same evening bikers showed up and demanded to talk to the owner - apparently he lent 50,000 dollars to stay afloat the last few months.

never made more money in my teens, doing less work.. good times...

today im spoiled and get everything i want from my job, so no need to steal

forcing people to care about computers and respecting other peoples opinions about them for 40 o 50 hours a week is an unforgivable offense that requires theft at any chance.

by the grace of god one day you will understand the joy of having a good job you like.

theres nothing like going home after every fiscal quarter knowing you did everything you could to get your boss a bonus, and enjoyed the journey along the way.

we all work because they pay us to, not to make someone else richer. that might be a side effect. it’s okay to enjoy your job. in fact, it’s better than being miserable your entire life.
