Growing pens (no, not pains)

At work, I use a lot of pens, and I lose a lot of pens. I never know if I should keep my pens in my drawer or somewhere more accessible. I prefer keeping my desk as clear of clutter as possible. [Does that happen? No. Ask my coworker Leigh. She'll tell you... she has to look at my desk.] So, I usually end up sticking my pens somewhere off my desktop, but closer and more accessible than my drawer. See below:

Yes, this is my desk plant - aka, my pen holder. Convenient, to say the least.


Hey, it works!

[You'd think I like blue writing utensils or something...]

Do you have any random things like this you do at work?

  1. HAHA I LOVE THIS POST! I love pens too! I have so many and I have them all over the place in different storage things. I'm a teacher and my students always notice every time I use a different pen! I prefer blue pens over black too, but I also use a bunch of fun colors!!

  4. Wow, I kill plants by literally doing nothing!

    Also, I read your title very quickly, and thought it said something about a penis.

  6. ha hilarious. I constantly lose pens, and it upsets me every time.

    I keep my pens at the bottom of my purse, on my nightstand, under the bed, under the couch, in random spots in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and on the sidewalk.

  13. That is too funny! I can't believe you put your pens in your plant. I have some crazy pens at work - my friends always buy me the craziest pens possible for my birthday and Crhistmas. They make my desk more interesting. :)
