memo to self
Today an idea struck me, and I can only lament a year’s worth or more of lost stuff for not having thought it before. Instead of having my good scissors, pens and staplers swiped, as has happened nearly countless times in the past, I will keep the good stuff in a drawer.
This resolution likely surprises no one, but the next bit’s the genius touch. I’m going to put crappy decoy supplies that naturally nobody’s going to want to take. So far it’s worked well, inadvertently, for my scissors. In the parlance of the workplace, going forward I’m looking to roll out this initiative cubicle-wide.
