If I had a native american name it would be "women who loses pens". There is a black hole somewhere where all my pens go.

Haha. You'd better be careful, for I am "woman who tries to order nice pens only to find them secretly replaced by The Man with similar yet crappier pens" and soon you may find yourself with nowhere to turn but the black market. :P

So the gods decided to play a trick on me right after I posted this I found the stupid red pen I was looking for.
Also, MIT will still let me order uncensored office supplies - so if I get really disparate I go there :-)

I used to have a bumper sticker that said "Psi U, we run with scissors". Which I then met a nice older brother from the Columbia chapter at a rest stop on 90 :-)

read that when tired, and an extra "i" slips in there, and i feel bad for james.

[sable47]

Hahahhah. I'm a little disturbed...

[kraftus]

...and to think I was the only one who had this problem...

[toastqueen]

you know how many times I had to read that to figure out what you were saying???

[fredej47]

I had that problem too. Now I am "woman who obsessively labels" and my pen problem has miraculously been cured.

[lifeaskatie]

I label mine too! I buy the 4 color pens (although I only need red and black) and they tend to walk off. I chased down one of our medical doctors the other day and made him empty his pockets and give me back my pen.

*ahem*

"Man who is quietly frustrated by the use of loose in place of lose by those who should know better"

[topsy47]

Yay! I'm not the only obsessed one who noticed that... and hey, does "women" mean that it's a girl, Michelle?

Actually I don't know an better. I'm a terrible speller - even simple words. So much so that I was put in the dumb English class until spelling wasn't tested. Then I was promptly put in AP. So, I would appreciate it if you would just correct me instead of making a snarky comment making me feel dumb.

[topsy47]

My apologies, I didn't realize it was a sensitive subject. The phrase "should know better" was inaccurate and unnecessarily snarky. Ahem:
