I begin each day at the office with pencil and paper. We write down various facts and numbers and then use various techniques to find a consensus for the forecast.  The point is that we use pencils, and as you know, they need to be sharpened. Our pencil sharper would got overheated and then shut down. Last week I kindly asked for a new pencil sharpener, but I never thought the request would go through.

However, when I came into work today I noticed a sleek new addition to our array of office supplies.  What was it? If you guessed a new pencil sharpen, you are right! It even takes batteries, so it is transportable in the x,y and z. I was so stoked that I sharpened all the pencils in the weather center. They are seriously sharp and ready for storm forecasting!

Here it is:

 

I love new office supplies:)

    Thank you guys for all the comments. The pencil sharpener now has an ego, but it still works really well.

    You have always deserved the very best and still do. And to get to the point...you made me want to go and sharpen our pencils

    I, too, prefer my pencils sharpened with precision; the same precision you deliver your forecast. Andrea, you are the bomb, and an outstanding role model for our community. I am so glad you are here! Bravo! p.s. do you have a great eraser to go with that pencil sharpener? you know, the old yin yang....

    This is too funny...One time my co-worker ordered a stapler and was expecting just one of the manual $7.99 regular staplers. She received an electric stapler which we found out cost $50.00! I tease her about it all of the time. She says she is keeping it. I would too (if I had one). :)
