An open letter

Dear co-workers,
I know it's hard to empty the pencil sharpener. I know it's a dinosaur piece of equipment that's heavy and hard to move. I know pulling the trash can closer so the cord will reach is a lot to ask. Your lives are all busy and full and difficult. I know that.
But please, for my sanity's sake, don't leave pencil shavings all over the filing cabinets in the copy room after your half-hearted attempt at emptying the machine. I'd rather you leave the machine full and let me empty it myself.
Lots of love,
Your fussy, anal-retentive neat-freak of a co-worker
