[Noisebridge-discuss] 10 minute hate

[jim]

   we did some build-out, moved in, and now we can't 
figure out what to do with the piles of crap all around, 
so most of us just stew in it. we need to identify 
places where we can put the piles of crap: 
* i vote for the hack shelves, for a few likely places 
not in the classrooms, and for getting plywood above 
the new toilet room and putting stuff up there. 
* i also vote for purchasing receptacles for food 
scraps, drink containers, recycled stuff, and garbage 
(i.e. black bin stuff). 
   i believe the above would go a long way toward making 
it easier to deal with half-eaten burritos and piles of 
electronic detritus and also probably to mop and clean 
floors and table tops and such. 
   then if someone did yell "hate" and/or the network 
slowed down a real lot, the ten minutes would really 
pay off--we'd know where to put things. 

   i think we will not make headway without organization. 
i'm unemployed, broke, and have put out way over $1000 
for stuff (i plan to get reimbursed for most of it). i'm 
willing to go buy the containers if i'm assured that 
i'll get reimbursed. 
   anybody object?
