Garbage bags and water. We do NOT need disposable cameras, there is a box of 6 rolls of film (which I believe Costco stopped selling film or cameras, right?) whiteout, tape or calculator tape. If you feel like getting paper get it. I am only 2 reams into a box and have one unopened box in the storage room. That is all I can think of now.

I emphasized the word above that I would like to point out to you. Not. Clearly written, not a forgotten word I forgot to write while typing. It is there in the original message. But some how she failed to see it. And yesterday after I was away for a week she tells me Costco is not selling calculator tape so I will have to order it from Martha. I was confused and said I believed there were a dozen rolls in the cabinet. I also saw yesterday that there was a box of garbage bags which I did say we needed, tape and whiteout. These last two things. I specifically along with the calculator tape said we did not need. What is the point in asking me if we need something if you are going to ignore what I say? When we don't need something we don't need. It is a major waste to have it sitting there for a year. I don't remember the last time we bought whiteout. I never touch it. Only one person in the office does. I am not even sure the last batch we bought has been in use yet. I think we are still on the whiteout from what is now three purchases ago. The point to all of this is, well there really is no point. Other than why? When I have not told here we don't need something she goes ahead and gets it because she does not know if we do need it so why not buy it. This time I thought I would also give a list of things we definitely did not need so they would not be there and think maybe we need it, we should get it. I guess that back fired on me, no?

Going back to being away for a week. I am not the only one who knows where items are stored. This was their system I adopted after coming to work here but do you think the garbage bag box, tape or whiteout was put away?
