office supplies

Her first day back from vacation was always a hoot. We'd all wait for the "WE'VE BEEN ROBBED!" scream and then we'd have a laugh.

Thank you, DOE, for providing my school supplies.

Am I the only one who goes ballistic if someone "borrows" my scissors? We also need a three-month at a glance calendar, or people get cranky.

I got a chance to do some office supply shopping, so each desk has color coordinated mouse pads, staplers, scissors, post-its, staple remover, etc, etc. Thank heavens we have a small office!

I also keep a specific type of pen for applicants, in a specific container. If someone comes to apply and doesn't even think to bring a pen, I automatically deduct mental points off of the applicant. And if he/she takes the pen? They'll steal anything - don't bother.

OH MY GAWD! I thought i was the only one in this world that loves office supplies. I think it is the feeling of being totally organized and to be able to color coat everything!

I love my Classic Disneyland desk accessories: Mad Hatter's teacup ride paper clip holder, Monorail stapler, and the Jungle Riverboat tape dispenser (special signifigance on that one, my grand-dad helped build that ride!) When it gets to crazy here, we close up shop, take a mental health day and go to the Happiest Place on Earth.
