I have an unnatural love of post it notes. I just bought several packs in various colors and sizes. I am unreasonably happy about this purchase.

You know, anywhere but here you'd be sued for false advertising. Here, we're all in agreement. We have long threads about the joys of office supply stores and back-to-school shopping.
And our computers are surrounded by rainbows of post-it notes.

I just discovered I'm going to need a few more binders. I'm excited to go binder shopping!

I hear you. Post-it notes are good, but it's binder clips I can't put down. So sleek, so functional. I hoard them. They are the Elvish rings of the modern office. One clip to rule them all and in the file drawer find them.

Mechanical pencils for me, and the occasional pen. It used to be graph paper, but now that's all downloadable and print-off-able. Paper pads come from the department, but they only buy those skinny 50-sheet kinds. I want the thicker 100-sheet pads, and those are hard to find any more.

Drat!
It's about post-its.
Speaking of which, I love the post it flag, the little arrows that take the place of underlining in library books, and even one's own books.

Pens. I live for good pens. The fat ones with the rubber grips are the absolute best.
Oh, and binders.
And notepads.
And storage boxes.
And pencils.
And watercolors..........
OK. I, Antiphon1, am a supply addict. And it's back to school time! Yeah!

The post-its super stickies in different shapes are the best. Also, binder clips, rainbow-hued sharpies, page protector sleeves, file folders...
And I just found an amazing "notebook" that allows me to organize and contain my stacks of paper! It's like a plastic binder with six dividers, but it has no rings. I just open up a section and put a stack there, and then hold the whole thing closed with a big elastic. I did a search on staples.com, but I couldn't find the right combination of keywords to bring it up. Sorry, too much NyQuil.

Scrap paper. Anything that's only printed on one side. I use it for scribbles, lecture notes, working out problems, organizing, etc. I can't throw it away. It's still usable. I cull it from the two-sided dreck and stack it and put away ever so carefully.
And prefer to write on it with pencils. Regular (usually mechanical) or my beloved red or dark (not the icky light one that doesn't copy) blue.

I'm a complete, unabashed Levenger slut. I dream of having my entire life under control in Circa notebooks, written out with pretty pens, all beautifully clipped and marked and organized. |

Hilroy scribblers for me. The skinny ones that are bound, and come in a pack of four different colours. I use them to take notes. I love starting a new scribbler - choosing the colour, writing the bibliographic information at the top, the page numbers down the side... it's euphoric.

Ah. . . a new thread for discussing my office supplies fetish! And I do think it's helpful to think of it as a fetish, almost in that classic Freudian way. I'm fairly certain there is some gaping chasm in my psyche which is filled or at least temporarily soothed by having post-its in 4 different sizes and 8 different colors. And art pencils in 5 different lead densities. And two-toned folders in teal, purple and crimson. Binders made from 80% post-consumer recycled materials. Pen-like white-out contraptions that you never have to wait to dry (a genius invention).
*happy sigh*
But I'd best say that very, very quietly, or the people over on the "Gone and Being Forgotten" thread who are joyously celebrating the idiocy of everything Freud ever wrote will come over here and smack me upside the head with a big fat mackerel.

I'm north of the border at the moment -- does that mean I can legally marry my moleskine notebooks? the thin, slightly floppy full-sized kind? I glue interesting images to them so I can tell them apart (surely a recipe for a happy marriage (the telling them apart part, that is, not the gluing things to them, which might not work in some relationships)).
The Freud-bashers and Freud-defenders alike are to stay far, far away from my yearning for a slightly floppy but full-sized partner.

The little flags are a delight. A book with dozens of those throughout makes me feel smarter even when I'm clueless about what I've just read. |
