What's your favourite item of stationery? I like multicoloured post its. I ordered rainbow ones for the office recently and it made me happy.
I dislike mini bulldog clips because I have a habit of clipping them round my labret piercing when I'm bored and then they ping off and it hurts. I clipped one round my tongue piercing once but then I nearly swallowed it.
Alternative alternative question: What have you swallowed that you shouldn't? Besides Northern jizz apparently.
There you go, thread hijacking complete.

Because one of my twatty managers HATES them. He made it mandatory for all staff attending meetings to take notes (despite nothing important being said, and the fact that the meetings are minuted). I write my notes on PostIts, and stick them to the desk. It makes him twitch.

But my current favourites are Mitsubishi Uniball eye fine pens. They are the best ball pen ever. Mine keep going missing so every week I go round the other desks and recover them.

Part of my degree is drafting and I've struggled to find a really good pen that does a continuous line, would you recommend the uniball one? If I'm drawing a really long ruled line, the bloody thing always breaks up at some point and it's nearly impossible to fill in the gap without blobbing and I specifically get marked on things like that.

Thanks, I'll have a look at those. I've got quite high marks on my drafting so far so I can't be that bad at it. Plus professional firms all use CAD for the most part anyway.
