Sitting behind the desk while surrounded by mountains of paperwork doesn’t sound a bit entertaining.
But your life in the cubicle can be fun if you happen to be addicted (or at least very interested in) tacky, techy, geeky office supplies and gadgets. Here are a few new must-have toys for your workday:
Safe stapling
You’ll never stab yourself with a stubborn staple again when you purchase a Staple-Free Stapler. It cuts a tiny flap in documents and then tucks pages into this little pocket. thinkgeek.com
Incoming call
Women are notorious for frantically digging through their purses for ringing cell phones. You’ll never panic in a meeting again since you’ll just casually glance down at your trendy bracelet — the bracelet that vibrates to let you know of an incoming call. The same bracelet also displays caller ID, so you know exactly when someone is trying to get in touch with you. newyorkcellphone.com
Time goes round and round
Think about the never-ending fix-it moments with duct tape. Then get crazy excited about this bright yellow Calendar Tape. Stick it to a wall, desk or fridge and use the big black marker (included) to schedule your life. likecool.com
Fearless filing
Many of our workplaces try to be more paper-free, but stacks of paper still haunt a lot of us. If you dread filing, a few of these crazy folders might just change your attitude. With phrases like, “Useless documents to provide appearance of importance in meetings” or “Stuff to hide from boss, spouse, or otherwise nosey individual,” you’ll put the fun back in filing. thinkgeek.com
Slice n’ dice shredder
This portable, hand-held paper shredder has 28 blades running on 4 AA batteries. It’s small but mighty and handles about five sheets of paper at a time, which is perfect for the small business owner and the bored office worker. ziszor.com
