There's a kitchen at work and a dishwasher. Opening the dishwasher used to a be like a game of Russian Roulette. Will they be dirty? Will they be clean?

Someone taped a make-shift sign to the front of the dishwasher, made of post-it notes, a popsicle stick and some kind of chopstick wrapper (I think). When the dishes are dirty it reads, "Dirty. Load Me Up" and you know you can put dirty dishes in. If it reads, "Clean. Please Empty Me," you know to quickly slink back out of the kitchen before anyone notices you are holding a dirty plate.

That amazing device was created by none other than Harry himself, and I was there to witness each glorious moment of its bith.
 
What's really exceptional is that at one point someone bought a little dial that you could turn from clean to dirty. It was on the dishwasher for years and no one ever used it. Then one day it disappeared. I think I remember seeing it on the door to the conference room. In fact, if you look closely at the photo in your November 28th post, you can see a little circle stuck to the glass door. I'm pretty sure that's the old dirty/clean dial.
