A post like this, is usually the result of the ridiculous amount of time one spends at work. Especially, alone. More the time, weirder the observation. One such night last month, forced me to look at office stationery differently. What if they were like people who work with us?
Take a look:
Post-its: The Perfect
Pretentious
Small but powerful. Gets along with everyone, but closest to the ones who have
nothing to do.
Staplers: The mean
machine
Shoots tiny bullets that force papers to get along even if they don’t want to. Some people just can’t let it go!

Prints: Mr. Versatile
Someone who can actually be utilised to make paper planes, paper balls, desk-wipes, notebooks, weapons and even bunkers behind which people pretend to work.

Highlighters: The Dark Knight
A poor soul who is always blamed for pointing out other’s mistakes. Everyone loves to use it, but no one wants to face it.

White Board: The Victim
Someone more responsible than the Managing Director, more creative than the Creative Director and more artistic than Pablo Picasso. Abused, misused, dominated, tolerated and the sole witness of every meeting ever held in the room. Deserves the Nobel Prize for Patience.

Board Pin: The Fighter
Holds on to everything. From annoying soft toys to the long lost extension list, restaurant menus, coasters, posters, useless quotes, family pictures and the busy post-its.

Paper punch: The Pervert
Ends up penetrating every piece of paper that comes in its way. Still holds his position because he knows every secret ever filed in the company.

Files: The old
fellows
Find their peace in a small community center built in the office corner. Here, they reminisce their old days, clean each other’s dust off and hope to be back in trend.
Pen Drives: The Groupie
She can’t hold a secret within her. Easy to corrupt, she can be used by anyone and everyone unless password protected by her master – the IT head. Loves to swing in pockets, drawers, purses and other unimaginable places.

Soft Boards: Mr. Bi-Polar
Haunts you with job-lists, comforts you with pictures. Gets along only with the Board Pin. Most underestimated, often hidden and ignored, this split personality is at his best on Monday mornings.
