I recently bought a Smead Desk Sorter Organizer out of nostalgia.
Many years ago, in my investigator days, I'd used a larger version from another company to keep notes in order. The larger version was clunky and so it became inconvenient.
This one seems just right for an inveterate note-taker and index card jotter. It reminds me of the strange emotional ties we can have for office products.
I know of people who have serious affection for certain pencils, ballpoint pens, and erasers. They go out of their way to avoid using any other types.
And, of course, there is the near-religious veneration of fountain pens.
Which is tied to another secret love: certain colors of ink.
I confess to ambivalence when it comes to blue and black inks, but there are people who possess a cult-like allegiance to green ink.
And that's not a bad choice.
Are there any other contenders?
