Years ago I quit saving that "leftover piece of wire" realizing that I never remembered that I had some when I needed it! Unless you have a system where you can inventory those "this and thats" I just tossed them. Yes, I threw away coinage but like I stated above, I never remembered I had the stuff to begin with let alone where I put it. I now have a new shop with ample room for storage and labeling of such. My OCD has been a blessing and a curse...now that I have space, it's coming in quite handy!
Back in high school, I worked as a gas station attendant at our local Texaco station. We attendants usually started at 5:00 p.m. and closed at 9:00 on weekdays. One of our jobs was to wipe down and put away the boss' tools...good training 50 years later!
