Office Supplies

I spend at least 40 hours a week at work.  I love where I work it. I have the is best dysfunctional relationships with my co-workers/pseudo-siblings.  Since I spend so much time at the work, I thought that I should get a few things to make my office more homey. 

It gets pretty cold in my office, either from the air conditioning in the summer or from the wall of windows in the winter.  I was able to find two very attractive options.  The first is a loverly Slanket - which is available in the very feminine color of pink. (I meant to say "loverly".) The second is a usb powered heated shawl.  I wish they could make a usb powered heated Slanket with a retractable 40 ft. long usb cord, so that I could freely roam the halls.  A large pocket or pouch would also be nice; just large enough to hold a pad of paper and maybe a granola bar.

I don't like using the red,disposable plastic cups at work.  I feel like I am tailgating with vodka (i.e. "water") in my party cup, while I walk around the office .  Then there is the guilty feeling when I throw the cup away, even if it goes in the recycling bin.  I do have a really cute mug that I use but I am always afraid that I will knock it over, causing a spill that will short circuit my computer.  This mug looks like a disposable paper coffee cup but is double walled porcelain and has a silicone lid that will keep my "water" from spilling all over my desk.  

I think that the cardboard rhino bust will add a bit of cozy comfort to my office.  Since I am married to a baby rhino, it will also remind me of my family.  (I am not really married to a rhino, but my husband is a large, sturdy fellow.)

Since I am the Human Resources Manager, it is essential that I am clear in all of my communications with the employees and supervisors.  As they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words." and "Actions speak louder than words."  These stickers merge both sayings in a clear and professional way, I think.  After all, communication is key.  


I don't think that I have ever brought a sandwich to work for lunch, but if I ever do I think these sandwich bags are the way to go.  The phony mold that is printed on the bags will keep my sandwich in pristine condition and ensure the safety and/or happiness of those around me. (I won't have to do any interrogations to find the sandwich thief.)


Candy is a friendly and innocent way to lure unsuspecting people into my lair.  I thought this candy dish is a cute and safe option, rather than a mason jar with a silicone sealed lid that somebody will inevitably pull off with so much vigor that it will fly out of their hands and shatter my computer screen.
