Uh oh! I just got cornered in the storage room by a new female staff person (and, yes, I have been my "new" outgoing male self with her). When she saw me there her eyes widened and her face lit up (I am becoming more aware of this reflexive response of some women, CB was the best!), we had a delightful conversation on the pros and cons of certain pens. She explained all the ins and outs of proper pen selection, as she has worked in that businss for the past few years. She said if I need any more info on pens to please drop by her office and see her. Is this for real? I wonder if she knows anything about staplers? We could make it a lunch outing!
