Day One

My waste basket has been sitting outside my office door in the hallway in the same spot for the past two years. It sits on the right side of the door if you are facing it from the hallway. When it is emptied at night, it is returned to the same exact spot every single time.

It's a regular 3-1/4 gallon office waste basket made by Tenax. It's rectangular so it sit next to the wall perfectly, not like the round ones. Nothing against the round ones, but the rectangular ones just feel right in the hallway. I like the round ones in the far corner of the office for amazing 3-point bank shots right before the work whistle blows.

Honestly, for the past two years I've never given this much thought about my waste basket. It's just there to take my garbage. I walk out of my office, a simple turn to the left, and in goes the waste. It is so dependable, and it never talks back to me. It just takes it day in and day out.

Today, someone moved my waste basket. Why on earth would someone want to move my basket from the right side to the left side of my door? It was strange for me to find it on the other side of the door after coming back from lunch. I don't know. It just seemed out of place to me. So, I moved it back to its rightful place.
