Documents, Xeroxed articles which you thought would be useful. Old ideas sketched on scratch paper which you thought would be THE idea that would be turned into THE print ad or TV commercial. Now all in the trash can. It's also somewhat sad to see all those print ads and TV commercials that we worked on overnight (and in some cases, worked on for several nights) and to see that they didn't push through, that they got cancelled for one reason or another, and they all now have to end up in the trash can.
