Stuff that's Useful

Like stationery.

I might save my rantings on the all-round greatness of stationery for another day though, and just mention some stapler issues I experienced earlier today.

For the second time in one week, I found myself doing a flyer run. In an effort to be more organised I decided to take a stapler. In fact I brought MY OWN but it is so little (and cute!) that it wouldn't open out as is required for sticking flyers to notice boards. Nice Deluxe cafe let me borrow their tape when I dropped in a stack on my way to work. At lunch (which I fit in at 3pm) I took a stapler from work. Checked: yes it opens out. So there I am at Espressoholic and while it does open out nicely, it doesn't work. No, forcing it isn't going to make a difference. I stick with the tried and true leave-a-pile-make-them-prominent method. Ah flyer runs. Being in the Cuba area gave me a reason to go up to Radio Active, as I've been meaning to do for ages, to pick up some stuff.

I went to collect the handcuffs, 'toygasm' book and penis-shaped ice tray I somehow won on the breakfast show a few weeks ago. ("What do I have to do? What?! It's prime time radio, there are children listening!!") My weak attempt at disguising my voice for a laugh lead to dj saying first thing, 'Is that you Jessie?' Way to go Clair! Ah, I totally deserved it. Anyway I was pretty pleased with my winnings but not pleased enough to actually go and collect them and it turns out they'd been given away to someone else. Sure, Clair, you took 'em home didncha. Being the lovely people that they are they gave me some charges and raptures instead (semi-sketchy 'dance'/'herbal high' pills). So that solves my 'I'm quite poor this weekend but I want to party' dilemma. If I can stand to give up my brain for long periods - (cue choruses of "No, Jessie, remember the Get Smarter campaign?") Yeah, I remember. So what. Reminds me of Douglas Coupland's endless epithets in 'Generation X': 'You can't remember what you chose to forget'.
