office supplies.

there is something about my job that i truly enjoy at a very deep level: buying office supplies. if i need (for my duties) new pens, new notepads, new files, folders, or binders, new post-its, new markers, new anything... i can go down to the bookstore with a departmental charge or go to officedepot.com and shop away. i love that. i love being able to order the things i need and create a functional little workspace with everything in its place, everything within reach, just the way i like it. this position does, i admit, satisfy some of my overtly obsessive-compulsive tendencies for symmetry and organization. /sheepish grin

i am being hired as an hourly cwu employee after my student status is up on the 27th (3 cheers!). so i've decided i am going to make my office space more of my own, less part-time temporary student-ish. i will be working here until we move or until i find my first real career position. to be honest, i feel worried about the search for what career is next for me. for now, i enjoy this one where i can shop for office supplies on a whim. (plus, i got a hefty raise!)

my latest purchases:
3 pentel rsvp fine-point black pens (my favorites)
a great big dry erase calendar
black markers for said calendar
a green box of kleenex puffs

i am making my corner desk more comfy, more "me," more tailored to the jobs i do everyday. it's nice.
