   During one office rearrangement I dropped my monitor. I was accused of   
   trying to get a newer, better one but that was dispelled when the   
   replacement still had the property tag from the university. I don't know   
   if they bought it at a tag sale or stole it.   
      
   That was par for the course. At one point my HDD failed and I went down to   
   the IT cave to get a new one. He pointed to a 2' high stack of drives on a   
   file cabinet and said 'See if you can find one that works.'   
      
   As years went on the company slowly learned about penny wise pound foolish   
   but it took a while.
