I am such a dork. Just went over to the student union in search of lunch, and was reminded when I walked in the door that today is the semi-annual office products fair! And in spite of all my constant bitching about the evils of multinational corporations and their minions, something carried me onward to the large ballroom containing lavish table displays and balding, sinister-looking office supply salespeople. Why? Because to an underpaid employee, "office supply fair" equates to one thing: Free Stuff. Here now is an inventory of what I got for enduring a few sales pitches: I am embarrassingly happy about all of this.
* a container of roll-on correction tape
*2 pens, one ballpoint and one of those newfangled rolly gel-writers
*a self-adhesive miniature flag dispenser
*2 letter openers (i stole an extra one to take home)
* Post-It notes in varying shapes and colors
* some weird solution with which to clean my computer monitor
* a static-charged computer/office equipment dust remover rag
* a miniature stapler for me to carry in my purse along with the approximately 9,528 unnecessary objects I cart around in there
* some yellow pocket folders
* a cd-rom storage pocket with an adhesive backing so I can stick it to a folder or binder.
