Here’s the thing about glittery pens. At work, I spend a considerable amount of time writing lists for sales departments, tally personnel, packagers, and various other individuals who have apparently made it their life’s mission to require handwritten documentation. Writing with a standard BIC pen is, quite frankly, a violation of my constitutional rights. So I acquired a glittery pen. Little did I know, this seemingly insignificant purchase would catapult me into becoming the undisputed “it” girl of the inventory department. Suddenly, my handwriting has never been more sought after, and my pen has achieved celebrity status. Who knew workplace stationery could have such profound social implications?
