the struggle continues

An email from a concerned and experienced comrade:

"AH--welcome to the world of [BlahBlahBlah], and to the things you learn that are never made clear during the interview process! Remember we are a community of learners, and somewhat near the communistic side of government in that we all own everything--so your supplies are being used by one of your comrades, I mean co-workers, and it is up to you to "use" (find) another set of supplies--the communist way--but if you work here long enough, your original supplies will eventually go through your office many times!"

Yes, still no sign of or word from sexy stapler...
