The Enemy: Paper Clips

[watercircle]

If I were to go to hell, Satan would devise my torture regimen around paper clips. My hatred for those little metal demons has grown exponentially over the past week and a half in my new job. They jab up under my fingernails, fly off papers at terrifying speeds right for my eyes, and, worst of all, they conjugate. If left undisturbed for any amount

Once upon a time, I remember a person buying a Saturn simply because it was a good car and the dealership was so simply nice. The price didn't hurt either.

I don't suppose a stapleless stapler could be an option for you?

I am not opposed to stapleless staplers, but, no, it's not an option. We use paper clips for a variety of clever things that you wouldn't really think of using a paperclip for. Also, many of the papers are official documents and so they really shouldn't be blemished. :(

I'm all for the green aspect of stapleless staplers, though. Wish we could use them more.

I'm glad you got the job :) maybe it's not the greatest job in the world but at least it's something. I don't have that much trouble with paper clips.... maybe yours are possessed D:

Hope you find a car soon!

Yeah, I'm happy to have the job too. And every little bit of experience helps, even if it's only secretary experience. I think I eventually want to try to get a job in technical writing once the economy stops being depressed. If that ever happens.

I miss my Wagon-R in Japan SO MUCH! T.T

all i can do is :DDDDD @ how things are coming along for you and ..................... @ the thought of having to tackle such things myself eventually....

Thanks! I think I'm pretty lucky to have found a job so quickly. Yay for networking!

You'll be fine. I'm a great example that you really don't need a plan before you come home. A little money saved up, though, doesn't hurt. :P
