My normal desk's been made unavailable while that floor of that building is refurbished. Found a team with a spare desk I've been using for the last month. Now they've got some new starters and we've swapped rooms. There's been a Lenovo-branded box big enough for a tower sat in the corridor for a week.
Colleague noticed yesterday the box was still sealed, and the shipping label was dated June 2017. My current work PC is a ~2014 Lenovo ThinkStation E31 with a Xeon E3 and 12GB of 1600MHz DDR4. Unpacked a box-fresh ThinkStation P710 with TWO Xeon E5, and 64GB of 2400MHz DDR4. SIXTY-FOUR!!! And an SSD. No idea why the team whose name is sharpied onto the box didn't use it, but this machine isn't listed in ServiceNow, not even in the asset list, even though it does have an asset sticker...
This week's fun project is working out how to get it registered and have the company's normal developer Windows build onto it without anyone deciding I shouldn't have it.
