Put them in a box and put the box in the drawer.

I can’t recycle just any metal thing in my bin.

I have a couple of them saved, but I have sets of actual tools that include Allen wrenches. So, I don’t keep most of them. I do keep the instructions with the item, though.

I work 40 hours a week (wish it were fewer), but my job consists of helping to set guidelines so that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have effective treatment for problematic behaviors AND that their rights are protected as much as possible. I feel like the work is worthwhile. I should be paid more than I am, but I am paid better than most of the people with whom I work. If they paid me 10-15k more, it would be a pretty great job. As it is, I enjoy a lot of the work I do.

I bought my IT guy an Excel mug that said something like Freak in the Sheets. He had been helping me transfer files from one computer to another (old computer had an expanding battery issue) and said he appreciated novelty mugs. He was being a real pal about it. So, I got him a mug. I didn’t solve any of his problems, but I did let him vent some about them.
