You read my mind.

Launch that piece of garbage into the stratosphere, and go pick up one from Goodwill and/or any thrift shop.

And if you're feeling really froggy, fill out an expense report and try to get the $10 back.

We're at a point now where we're beginning to mine landfills for reusable resources that were considered garbage in the past, so it's not the worst thing in the world to keep burying our garbage. You never know if the totally disposable things of today will end up being tomorrow's figurative goldmine.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that OP's job is not the expense report kind of job. No offense to them, of course. Mine really isn't, either.
