white westinghouse toaster

 i claimed more items from work during the cleanup. i noticed one of those available was a toaster. i already have one, a proctor-silex, but i think i will keep this recent find, a white-westinghouse. it looks like an upgrade for me, and i can donate the other one to goodwill along with other finds made during the day. this included some bowls, as well as some books, including two dictionaries. even a blue wicker basket. the thing i have already noticed about the toaster is that it has a distinct bell when it is done. i also like how the crumb tray slides out. when i went to hy-vee in eagan for groceries in the evening i did get some english muffins to test it, and it worked fine to me. i am reminded of other small household appliances that i have. i don't use a toaster much, and the same is true for the waffle iron, but i still like having it. i guess i got the waffle iron at work as well, technically. i think i got it with points a while back, maybe when i was working in suburban chicago. it is a krups. and i found out the name of who i spoke with, at first i referred to him as 'the dude helping the lady'. a payroll manager, same name as a cousin of mine. when i said i was donating what i could to goodwill, he said we are putting out as much as possible but we are running out of days. this is true, as the move to a downtown office is just over a week away now, for most people. when the file room for benefits was being cleaned out i said i saw a northwest airlines sticker on a box, proof of how it had been there for a while. fixed assets manager said she was donating things to goodwill as well, and said she was keeping a box of four vases. it was nice that the overnight volume dropped, but i tend to expect this at the end of the week. it was down to twenty-five. there was a late request to pull four checks, but i was able to find them. it helped that they were basically the same payee and close enough on check numbers. and i left them on a table, so not in a tub yet. i got things squared away with the basketball game ticket this morning, paid with paypal. the ticket will be sent to me shortly and it means adding the team's app to access the ticket. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 34 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when sheldon got an assistant, alex. when amy called, she said sheldon didn't say alex was a girl. then amy said to penny 'that skank is your problem' as she was interested in leonard.
