The Day My Stapler Died

The one at the top hurled itself off my desk and dashed its loading mechanism to pieces. I was quite upset about it as that stapler had sentimental value. Well, it had my name on it and that's quite something in the world of staplers! It meant nobody could nick it off me.

It can never be replaced but I have a back-up in the form of the flowery one. Pretty stapler! I have written my name on the bottom of it in permanent marker.

Yes, it's very Milton but a good stapler is a thing of joy to an office worker. Sigh.
