Think about it for a minute. Much of the 21st century business climate occurs on the computer. Could you get through your whole day without using any writing supplies? Maybe some days. But, chances are, at some point, you need a ruler, pen, pencil, eraser or the most coveted office supply of all, a pencil with an eraser. Where do you turn for these necessary supplies? You might have a random assortment of promotional pens in your desk drawer that just might have some ink. You might even find a random pencil stub, which breaks upon first contact with paper.
At this point, it’s every cubicle worker for himself unless you have an in with the dictator of your office writing supplies. Need a ruler to draw a straight line? How about an eraser? The classic pink eraser, pencil top eraser or cute eraser shaped liked a kitty cat? And don’t even think about asking to sharpen a pencil. Chances are, someone in your office not only knows where the sharpener is kept, but keeps a close eye on it.
But a ruler coup d’etat is waiting in the wings, biding it’s time for the dictator to get comfortable and forget that these essential office supplies are just a mouse click away at Office1.
