I have a pen fetish. I’m irrationally in love with the Pilot G-2 gel ink pen. By some quirky office ordering mistake, we ended up with a batch of them in our supply cabinet at work. Hey, what the heck, I thought, I always like to try a new pen. As for my Sanford Uniball Micros — well, what they didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them.
Well, it was love at first write. One scribble and I was in trouble. I had to have more! I scurried back to the supply cabinet — I mean if the order was a fluke, surely they wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. These pens were much too nice for this place. They might never pass this way again! I HAD TO HAVE MORE OF THOSE PENS!
Yes, I’m a total pen jerk. Unlike with most of my cool office supply discoveries, I did not rush to share with my friends. This was my little secret. And my Uniball Micros were yesterday’s news. I dumped them; I didn’t return their calls, heartlessly stuffing them in a drawer. I’m a pen floozy, I guess. But dammit I can’t help it — that smooth rollerball and gel ink! That cushy finger grip! Those attractive curves and that substantial heft! If loving the Pilot G-2 Gel is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Do I need a life or what?
