Desk nonsense, part II

That last post was popular!

So, here's what's in my top drawer:
  • Four Sharpie ultra fine point markers - Columbia blue, fuschia, tangerine and lime (these are for my color-coded calendar)
  • One Sharpie fine point marker - black (for graffiti!)
  • One Pilot ultra fine point permanent type pen - red (and NO XYLENE, thank god)
  • Seven paperclips (three red and one each of blue, yellow, green and white)
  • Two little binder clips (the cute teeny ones good for "binding" about two pieces of paper
  • Two blaze orange earplugs (let's go hunting!)
  • One uncanceled stamp
  • One latex-free generic Band-Aid
  • An unused letter opener from the USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council
  • One notepad with nine remaining sheets of paper
  • An A section from the Aug. 1 paper (to give to a freelancer who wrote the main story)
  • An accuracy survey letter (which I need to pass on to another employee)
When I was in college, my friend Tom and I had a radio show, which we were kicked off of by the station manager in our second semester of senior year for "playing repetitious music and rambling." As you can see, old habits die hard.
