Paper Clips and Tape dispensers...

There is something strangely fun and gratifying to me about buying office supplies. I like seeing what's out there. It reminds me of back-to-school shopping with Mom minus the trapper keeper with the kitties on it and the Barbie backpack. Getting a new desk calendar is exciting. Don't get me started on mechanical pencils and how awesome my new one is. Office supplies are good. I didn't think it could get much better than buying new office supplies (with the exception of buying shoes which trumps any and all retail purchases) until now. I don't have to buy them any more because I have an entire closet full of FREE office supplies at my disposal. Did I need the paper clip caddy? No, not really but it was free so I took it. Did I need the multi-colored paper clips? Nope, but I could take them and not think to myself "the metal ones are cheaper." Did I need that sharpie? Sure didn't, but it will right better on the mix CD I have to burn for my weekend get away so I took it. Don't get me wrong. I am not taking all the free goodies home. This is strictly work goodies. But I must admit that I try to take at least one trip a week to the closet and it makes the work day just a bit brighter especially with a bright orange highlighter.
