Re: Steve’s Annual Procurement Review
All staff are reminded that Steve’s standing order for mechanical pencils has been quietly renewing since 1991. The pencils remain untouched in his cubicle—next to the sweater. As no one has ever seen Steve draw, write, or even breathe, I’m requesting a symbolic signature on the requisition form. Please leave it on his desk. If the pencil moves over the next fiscal quarter, we’ll consider him active. If not, we’ll escalate to the Department of Random Domain Management. Again.

At 11:45, Steve from Accounting submitted a procurement request for 500 disposable coffee cups. I rejected it outright. We have a perfectly good set of ceramic mugs that only need occasional washing. The cost-per-use of disposables is absurd. Steve argued convenience. I argued the budget. He lost. Also, the breakroom microwave is making a clicking noise again. I've taped a note: "Do not use until maintenance approves." Someone will ignore it.
