Spreadsheets, emails, meetings, more spreadsheets, more emails, more meetings... The workday can get dull very quickly. Sure, there’s the occasional coffee break, but even those eventually blend into the routine unless something surprising breaks up the monotony.
And sometimes, all it takes is a forgotten relic collecting dust in a drawer or a secret note your predecessor left in the server room. To show that the highlight of your week can hide in the simplest of places, we put together a list of moments when employees discovered mildly interesting stuff at work they didn’t know existed!

What’s Your Best “Who Closed Last Night Situation?”
Was working at this place doing morning prep. I walk in the building and go to clock in before turning on the lights and I notice a faint blue glow from the kitchen. Come to find out the torch had somehow been left lit on a shelf overnight. The last crème brûlée was an hour before close as well. I want someone to show me something that’ll top this please.

Found A Thor’s Hammer At Workdesk I Booked
Had booked a desk online for my office visit (we have to book desks every time we work from office), and found this Thor’s hammer on the desk. Now the question is - should I leave it as is when I leave work, or is it mine to take now? Please note that the desks are not allotted to any individuals and there is no way to identify the owner of this hammer.
