Last week I took a step in saving time and money. I bought soda.
Explaination: whenever I want a soda at work I have two options. I can go to the machine and buy a can for $0.60 or I can go across the street to Maverick and get a 44 oz. refill for $0.95. The nice thing about getting a can is that I don't need a lot of soda, and that limits me to a can. The nice thing about a refill is that it is a better deal. The down side of the can is that it is not a very good deal and the down side to the refill at Maverick is that it takes time, I am likely to waste even more money on other stuff I don't need (candy etc.), and I don't need 44 oz. of soda. So while at the grocery store on Wed. I got two 12 packs. = Saving money.
So, I come into work this morning and low and behold, four cans or so were gone! I cannot believe that someone in my office would do that. Who sees a 12 pack of soda in a company lunchroom fridge and think to themselves, "Golly, looks like free soda today!"?! When I was in college and had roomates, you kind of expect stuff like that to get swiped every now and again... I am just blown away that it would happen at a professional office such as the one I work in.

Maybe they knew that you only get so much spending money each week and that you have a few pounds to lose and were trying to help you out ;)
I know exactly what you mean! Someone in the judge's chambers swiped three bottles of water of mine out of our fridge. It's not even like soda that you have to go across the street to buy, there was a drinking fountain right outside the door.
The other day I caught Dr. Bailey eating Janell's banana. I gave him 'the look' and he said, "hey, it's been here for three days and no one has claimed it. I figure it is up for grabs by now." Dr. Lowe used to eat and drink anything that was in the fridge. It didn't bother him at all.
You might want to try just bringing one to work each day. If you bring two, put your name on it.
A 12-pack might say, "hey, that was nice of someone to stock the fridge, thanks!"
