Oh dear... Now I feel bad mentioning the row of mugs and curry sauce. Lol.
Erm... dare I ask, what happened to him in the end?
Not sure if it's a cultural thing or we have to do it, but we all lock away our laptops, keyboards and mice each day in our desk drawers. We all have wirless Mac keyboards and mice, not posh but just iMacs come with them and we can't put them out in our computer rooms so staff get to have them instead as the IT office have hundreds of them.

Somehow he managed to avoid getting kicked out and stayed in the company for at least another decade. Not much in the way of career advancement though.
Own keyboard and mouse does seem to make some sense although wireless and re-pairing all the time sounds like a lot of faff. I have my own keyboard at work as I don't get on with the one supplied but that sits on what is currently my desk so is easy (and it is wired).

I used to share a keyboard and mouse working shifts which covered 24x7. 4 workstations for 8+ staff. One weekend one of the gentleman on an opposite shift was caught with his trousers round his ankles engaging with some specialist online content. I was so very happy when I left that job and had my own keyboard.
