Stapling- it’s tougher than you think May 15, 2007
Posted by brandy in work.trackback
I just stapled my sweater to a draft of a contract. In front of my boss. Do I appear to be the kind of person who deserves a contract when I can’t work a stapler?

Thanks Ruby!
oh something i would totally do! ha!
I have done that. It fits with my usual grace.
It’s not as bad as stapling your thumb. Trust me!
Okay to make you feel better I’ll tell you the stupidest thing I’ve ever done (said) at work.
“well it was the same time as 9/11; was that in New York?”
Really. REALLY.
I think they considered firing me just for being that stupid haha
HA! I do stuff like that all the time. I so lack any sort of hand-eye coordination. I hope it didn’t ruin your sweater.
Glad we all operate on the same page here. As for my sweater, it DID leave a hole only because I was mortified when I couldn’t figure out what was going on and yanked the papers free. (Because I want my boss to see how quickly I can turn a bad situation around you see…
Yep, that’s something that I would do…. it’s actually a relief to know I’m not the only one!
Obviously, you aren’t qualified to operate a stapler. And if you aren’t qualified to operate a stapler, are you even qualified to be a teacher?
Wow. I guess it’s a good thing you don’t work in construction. It could have been a nail gun! :O
ooh that’s awful. (but sort of funny… forgive me for chuckling)
Staples are overrated and they don’t make sweaters like they used to. I guess this would be a perfect example of my “when in doubt, blame inanimate objects” logic. Works like a charm.
If it helps, I did that in a black turtleneck sweather with bell sleeves with a contract in front of the client who had just agreed to spend 65K on a project with me. He looked quite impressed with me and my smoothness I assure you.
In response to your comment: I like books that are sort of like gossip magazines–juicy, scandalous and sometimes dirty. The one I’m reading now is pretty good: The J.A.P. chronicles by Isabel Rose. Recently, I read one called Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster; it’s hilarious and she has another one coming out this month. Jennifer Wieners is also a really good author. I’ve read a few books by her–Little Earthquakes and Goodnight Nobody.
Hope that helps a little with your summer reading!
Miss M- Good stuff. I’ve read the J.A.P Chronicles and both of the Lancaster books (I actually liked the second one better.) As for Jennifer Weiners, I’ve only read Good in Bed and Little Earthquakes. Perhaps my summer kick off will begin with Goodnight Nobody
Who needs to be graceful? It’s about time we all stopped trying so hard and just appreciated the fact that it is not all that easy to get our fashionable clothing out of the way of a stapler. Those staplers are vicious!
the head of our office just popped into my office as i was blog surfing and listening to somebody’s hip hop download post. fantastic.
I stapled my finger once…now if that’s a sign you shouldn’t be around a stapler, I don’t know what is.
Well, staplers can be tricky.
OMG…that is funny! Funnier that you did it in front of your boss.
LOL that’s just the sort of thing I would do and in front of my boss too.
