I don't know what's wrong with the colors
Post-it's have become my best friend. I never thought I'd be the wasteful type, but after trying to recycle old print-outs and make scrap paper, there is nothing better than the 3x3 inch square with the conveniently sticky back. I spend 8+ hours at this desk so I have to make it homey. I have a sweater on my chair, in case I get cold, some Creme de Corps, hand sanitizer, notes from friends, a bottle of red nail polish, and snacks. I keep a variety of shoes and blazers under my desk and in the closet for days I need a quick outfit change. My job is pretty rad, but I do spend most days at a desk. Something about that, though, is very comforting.
