Stationary-Based AIBU. You're welcome.

[FirstWeTakeManhattan]

Someone just told me to use the calendar on my PC, instead of poring over stationary websites to choose a nice new desk planner to write my work stuff in?

I'm right, surely to goodness?

Cut that person out of your life. Do it now.

Well, this is a thread that's not going anywhere...

Of course you are right. I love stationary! And if using a desk diary or calendar works for you, then there's no problem!

I still believe that there is some magic item of stationary out there that will make me into an organised, motivated person. And during the hunt for this magic item, I get to enjoy lots of stationary porn!

I agree cut them out, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life

Arf @ FourThings!

ARF!!!!!! Lizard

Pah, those calendar thingies on computers will never catch on.

Ahem.

Umm.

Lol STDG - I too am searching for that magical stationary item! (I thought I was the only one...)

Oops.

Four

In a former job, there was a cupboard with a big label affixed to the front:

STATIONARY CUPBOARD

That was a relief, I can tell you. It was quite near my desk.

Real calendar made of paper and cardboard? How delightfully quaint.

Arghhh - I was looking at it when I wrote it, and was so sure I had them the right way round in my head.

I will write out my spelling corrections 20 times, Salmotrutta.

Salmo - you saved me a job!

I love paper notebooks but an outlook/phone calendar. Perhaps a compromise you could make?

E for envelope!

I was in Smiths today and somehow found myself buying yet another lovely notebook. I have a pile of lovely notebooks of various sizes, colours and patterns.

I have recently started a fabulous mandela colouring-in book. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world of pencils, pens and other stationery necessary to colour in properly.

Your colleague is obviously a poor, withered soul whose life need more joy.

YANBU.

A for automobile!

It's even stuck still in discussions of the day.

Oops. I meant most active. Not DotD.

Yanbu. I love my paper diary. It's fabulous. I may also have a slight addiction to pretty coloured sharpies didn't buy a 99p folder to get new pretties cheaper

YANBU - wtf is wrong with people?!! Of course you need a beautiful diary for writing important things.. For a start, you can't use all manner of different coloured fountain pens on a computer!!

Your colleague is clearly wrong. Absolutely you need a proper paper one. How else can you flick through it importantly and marvel at all the exciting things you have planned?

different coloured fountain pens

Oh yes. Oh very yes.

Part of my job is ordering the stationery .. God how I love it !

The DC recently scrawled all over the front of my lovely list making notepad
Not inside, no lists were ruined, but the book is now dead to me
