thief!!

Yeah, that's me. Not only can't I resist buying pens, of all kinds, I can't resist swiping them either!!

I walk almost everyday at lunch. When the weather is bad - too cold, rainy, too humid - I walk indoors. This past year, I've taken to walking around the convention center. It's a big place. I have to walk through The Marriott to get there. They have a lot of banquets/meetings/seminars at The Marriott. Whenever they have tables set up outside of the rooms, I always look to see if they have pens :-) 

Once, Linkedin had a big day meeting at the Marriott. Linkedin gives away Ink Joy pens!!!! In different colors! No one was attending their tables when I walked buy. You know the lil devil on my shoulder was screaming, "take a few:" I think my lil angel gave me the thumbs up too! 
Some businesses have really great pens. Some of them come with highlighters on the opposite ends. It's a 2 fer! It's awesome. OK, so I don't usually take them home. I have a pen cup on my desk. And because everybody seems to think it's ok to take a pen out of MY pen cup if they need one, I put all the swiped pens in it. It's a nice arrangement. But if it's a fat pen, it goes in my desk drawer. Fat pens are my favorite for work.

 I don't use a stylus, but if I did, this pen comes with one built in. That's pretty cool.

Yeah it's the little things.
