Things found while searching for a box of staples

  • Box of not attractive Christmas Cards, you’ll see them in December
  • Walkman — AM/FM, cassette, yo.
  • Mickey Mouse watch that never belonged to me
  • Another empty stapler
  • Dusty Nikon SLR
  • Phone charger from two phones ago
  • Cigar Box from the bowling alley
  • Box of paper clips
  • Box of large binder clips
  • Box of blue highlighters

Of all the office supplies I got when leaving Hell, Inc., the one thing I apparently didn’t get was a box of staples. I have two staplers and no staples.

I need the staples because my application for The Loft’s Mentor Series is done (and due Wednesday) and I want to mail it in. I’m hoping this year will be my year, because if I have to create a Mentor 2010 folder to go with my Mentor 2006, Mentor 2007, Mentor 2008, and Mentor 2009 folders that’ll be sad. Just sad.

I don’t know about Minneapolis but in Los Angeles there’s actually a store called “Staples”

Why would I buy staples when I am almost positive that I have some around here?

What do you need staples for? Nothing with the application gets stapled…paper clips only, which you found on your search!
