Morning's Light

Clueless Employee approaches my office stating loudly, "I DO NOT LIKE THESE THINGS. AT. ALL!!!"

The items in question?  Large paper clips.  Perhaps she was offended or hurt by large paper clips in her past and they're haunting her today??

I replied that I use them for my benefit – to hold the final document together with the backup documentation and to separate them from other documents with backup documentation.  (Thus a lesson in What Paper Clips Are For.)

CE didn't seem to understand and remained perturbed that I refused to give in to her request.

The situation remains unresolved.  Will keep you updated.

In other news, an email arrived in my inbox announcing the availability of two library books I'd put on hold.  Related titles?  Perhaps. 

1   Sleeping arrangements / Madeleine Wickham.

2   Stiff : the curious lives of human cadavers / Mary Roach.
