    Haven't got one, pencils with erasers on the end cost more.

    Using recycled rags to clean/service machines, instead of using tear off's from a larger roll of Chux(dish wipes).

    I would go an buy my own larger rolls of Chux by the carton, four x rolls to a carton.
    The Boss wasn't overly happy about it, but he never paid for the Chux so he couldn't whinge.

    True...

    After working around copiers and such for so long, I loath whiteout and paperclips and staples.

    As far as office supplies go, I only carry a pen and keep clipped to my pocket( a Pilot G2 .07 black specifically). I buy them my self and seldom lend them off. All others go in the trash or magically walk away.

    Previous company I worked at. I was issued tools that a previous retiring tech used for probably 30 years with the company. I had been using these tools for about 10 years, and the owner went out on a call with me. After the call we got back into the van and he told me "those tools look worn out, you need to take better care of them, or I'm gonna bill you for them" I about flipped a nut. I told him to keep his fritten tools, I have been using my own tools for more than 20 years now. I want nothing to do with company tools. The only company tools I use are specialty tools that you can't find at the local hardware store. If mine get worn, I replace them and don't have to beg for new ones like the other techs.
    I've proved mathematics wrong. 1 + 1 doesn't always equal 2.........

    RE. Recycled rags.

    Whaaaat.....the boss purchased from commercial Walmart, No! Try the local volunteer Salvation Army Op-shop.

    We nickname the boss Titus ..."Titus A'fishas".

    The Boss was a half decent bloke outside of work hours. His business sense was just a little out of tune.

    As a Tradie, I buy and maintain my own tools and tool cases. No whinging from others that way.

    Re. Borrowed tools.
    If you break my gear or loose it you pay for a new one. Otherwise I will hen peck you to death.

    You must realize.. my boss is ALL about that $. Even if it costs him five. He underpays... over expects " come over to my Saturday..bring your chainsaw" did that once.. no pay.. no thanks.. no food.. no gas. No more. He would rather wait till company cars/Van breaks down.. then bitches about repair bill. Hell at one time I had to use their ole rags from home for service! Till a lady called asking why i was using an ole tea towel to clean machines! He also had a cow when i ordered yellow " stretch n dust " cloths.
