Punch




Last evening I moved the three-hole punch into my office and this morning I pirated the rotary paper cutter. I sort of encouraged the Council to invest in this device a couple of years ago. We have a typical lever paper cutter and scissors lying all over the place. I have never been able to get the standard paper cutter to evenly cut multiple pages and quadriplegia and scissors just don’t mix.

As I carted the cutter into my office, Marianne noted she has never seen any other staff use this device except me and she even suggested that I keep the cutter in my area since I am the one who uses it. I pretty much had the same conversation last night regarding the three-hole punch—‘keep it since you use it most’. OK, I will.

I am slowly turning the work station left when Dawn left last month into my work area. I am still getting used to having this much space. It’s great! Already, I sense the entropy is subsiding and the extra surface I have allows me to keep some sort of order over my general work area. The office renovation nears completion, the last two rooms: Marianne’s office and the ‘work room’ and we’ll will start moving items back into the rooms today and tomorrow so I have to start harvesting items I’ll need to make my work area complete in the next twenty-four hours. I figure I need to find an electric stapler and electric pencil sharpener but I tend to use mechanical pencils more these days then not. I still have to lay claim to my old file cabinet stored across the hall in the vacant office over there. I plan to be throwing way a lot of junk I have accumulated but I be getting back a lot of my resource materials and other items needed to make an office a home.

I spoke with my Michelle yesterday and she has ‘scoped’ the fetus and we have a new girl to add to the family. I will add an image of little Riley or whomever when I can access Shelly’s MySpace account—I cannot not from my office—you know the old State. So that’s everyone except Old Brooks…the pressure’s on.
