Listen to this newest stupidity.
Apparently, no one can find anything or put anything away unless it is labeled. And we mean everything.

| The most useful tool ever. Apparently. |
It started with shelves in the staff room. They were all going to be labeled by department "so no one department (read - Spoof and Speck's department) takes up more than it's fair share." Of course, our shelf got labeled and then nothing else.
Then all of the filing cabinets got labeled. Not just with contents. No. The cabinets were all numbered and a master list of contents got made. Plus, certain cabinets were assigned to certain people. Not all of us. Our department must share two cabinets. Not that we're bitter.
This is all a little overdone, but whatever. Ah, but our story doesn't end there.
Shoes has rediscovered the label maker. Now, every drawer and cabinet in the kitchen must have a label detailing it's contents. As if we can't open said drawer or cabinet and see that it has silverware. Or napkins. Or coffee filters. It takes two seconds. Use your brains folks.
Just today, we found staplers and tape dispensers labeled not only with what they are (duh) but also where they belong. Every stapler and tape in the building is exactly identical. Does it matter which stapler you have so long as you have one?

We've decided that if we have to be dumb and label dumb stuff, we're going to be really dumb and label everything. While we don't have a label maker we do have permanent markers ready to go. By the end of the week we want a label on everything. And we mean everything - pencils, individual sheets of toilet paper, every paper clip - should have an identifying label.
By the time we're done, someone's going to have a serious alcohol problem.
