Flair! Finding the Fun at Work

I don't really like talking about my flair...


Joanna: You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?
Stan, Chotchkie's Manager: Well, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself.
Joanna: Yeah. You know what, yeah, I do. I do want to express myself, okay. And I don't need 37 pieces of flair to do it.
[flips off Stan]

Like Joanna, I'd love to quit a terrible job one day like that. (That's almost as good as the JetBlue guy!)

But unlike Joanna, I don't mind talking about my Flair. My PaperMate Flair pens, that is!

I LOVE these pens! And it is the only way I can make reconciling credit card charges for 4 people every month a little fun. Some months I can have up to 40 charges per person - that's a LOT of reconciling! Not only do I have to go into the website and type in a bunch of crap (reason for purchase, tax, subledger number) but I also have to write the transaction number on every receipt. That's where these babies come in handy! Writing transaction numbers on 100+ receipts is much more tolerable when you have a pretty pink pen or a lovely light-blue pen or a great green pen.

After that step, I go to the printer to scan copies of the receipts. Trying to fit the different sized receipts together into an 8.5 x 11 area is also kind of fun - I pretend I'm playing Tetris. :)





I am super excited for this weekend because I'll be off to Savannah!!!!















I love Savannah! We went last year with a few friends and we had so much fun. There are so many tasty places to eat down there, so I'm most excited about the food!

I'll be eating some of this:















And we'll def be eating here:















And we're going to try this place.

YUM! I can't wait! :)
