...from an actual Widget Central memorandum...
"Just want to remind everyone that if you have any packaging peanuts take
them back to shipping don't put them in the Styrofoam recycle container
because they need to be kept separate.
The recycle container labeled toner is also for ink
cartridges, I have ordered more labels to apply to the containers.
We are working on reducing the electrical usage but still there
is a lot of waste going on, so please if you leave a meeting room
shut the lights off. If it's the middle of the day do you really need your
desk light on. Do you use everything that is plugged in to your power strip
all the time? If you are the first one in early in the morning do you
really need to turn every light on?
Also Chef Ralf wants me to let everyone know he switched to Dill pickles."
I'm not sure if everyone in the company found this funny, or if it was just me, but quite frankly it was the best email I got all day.
The last line made me laugh... thank you for that!

Hooray for Chef Ralf.
At my work, the lights go off in the meeting room if the sensor hasn't detected movement for more than 10 minutes. Someone hasn't quite worked out that just because we're not running around the room waving our arms in the air, we're not there. Working away quietly and concentratedly.
It is MOST offputting.
