I wonder if people know what its like to have to search for the most comfortable pen you can find to reduce the hand fatigue you often get from signing multiple documents in a short period of time? I sure do, and my preferred pen is Papermate Profile Bold 1.4MM black ballpoint
It may seem like a small thing to make fun of...until you're in the middle of clerking multiple documents on a deadline and you have to keep pausing because your hand keeps cramping up.
My pen of choice causes the least hand fatigue, is cheap, does the job effectively and comes in an 8 pack in case my thirsty coworkers try to steal the one I'm using.
Stop letting self righteous white dudes manipulate the conversation.

Instead of posturing to defend their faves, I wish the people extolling the virtues of primary challenges in safe Dem seats would read the fucking room long enough to realize the resources would be better spent expanding the goddamn map by taking seats from The Insurrectionists.
Open seats are fair game, but we've spent three years making excuses for extreme leftists who would rather "purify" The Democratic Party instead of taking the fight to Republicans and your fucking credibility is circling the drain.
You have emboldened a bunch of tankie sympathizers and goofy conspiracy theorists who road tested half the attacks on the Democratic Party currently being used by conservatives but your pride will not allow you to admit your faves ain't never been shit but a bunch of saboteurs.
Ryan Grim's pissy tweet referencing Obama was a follow-up to his own tweet of a clip of him describing how incompetent the Sanders campaign was.
Too bad they didn't succeed, they could've spared Bernie the humiliation of The Biden Beatdown™.
I'm thinking that rural Maryland area Grim hails from is REALLY rural.
I had to do some finagling to listen to Grim - who replaced Krystal Ball as one of the co-hosts of "Rising" - and the story he tells in the clip sounds really anti-union and anti-organizing. Not only that, Grim can't stop flubbing his lines.
Guess I've been binge listening to Steely Dan/Donald Fagen today. Its different.
By the way, when I watched the animated movie "Soul" the "terry" character reminded me of animation I'd seen in a music video somewhere. I just discovered it was the music vid for Donald Fagen's "New Frontier."
Doing this has reminded me that vibing to music while going for a cruise and/or drawing used to be my self care. They may have been a few herbal enhancements thrown in I dunno. Then, life took me away from all my favorite shit and its taken me decades to get back.
Back in high school our rookie HC thought he'd could just throw us right into the fire vs powerhouse St. Rita. The instant we walked off the bus we were shell shocked by the stadium.
It looked like a prison yard.
We got destroyed 31-0.
But then, I discovered something.
Before the game, the white players made the mistake of reading a local sport writer's predictions. He hadn't just predicted we'd lose, he took joy in making fun of our chances. They were very good, after all.
But after the game, the white players kept saying "How did he know?"
We would've probably lost anyway, but that's when I knew we never had a chance, because they just gave in to the prediction at the first sign of trouble. Then, the next week it was "St. Francis De Sales, another Chicago powerhouse. Like I said, the rookie HC's idea of genius."
