Pens.....
« on: April 29, 2008, 08:29:42 pm »
How many pens do you lose in a day?

I reckon I must go through a pack a week. :o

Every single time I go write a slip - yup, my pen has vanished !!! >:(

Drives me crazy.

So  - who else has a pen vanishing problem - or is it just me :-[

Yup, lost loads. 

Might have to get some made with my business name so I take more care of them...

Careless sods.

no need to run out of pens you can even order them with your name on

just had a load made with my name and tel number on and gave all my customers a free pen they loved them  ;)

also been canvassing and gave them out as well with my card, had a good response even gave the ones who didnt want a window cleaner a pen just incase  ;D

i sometimes take one of my dogs with me in the van.   As I have 2 greyhounds I have to alternate which one comes with me.  One day I lost about 4 pens, everytime I went to write a 'called today' thingie I found myself looking for another pen.  Anyway, last job of the day and the custy starts fussing Jumbo joe, my white greyhound when I notice a very large 'blue beard' growing on his chin.  The sod had managed to munch his way thro nearly all my pens.  Did look funny tho.   ;D

Somewhere in the universe is "PenSock"; a planet with worm-holes directly to my bedroom chest of drawers and to the dashboard of my van. Every night, and sometimes during the day they suck my pens and socks away when I'm not looking.

In fact the sock wormhole always takes away just one sock out of a pair ....



Twilight zone! ;D

I believe there is a market stall somewhere that sells second hand pens - along with combs, keys and odd socks.
