Pens
 |
| Sample of my handwriting. |
I’ve
found myself falling back in love with felt tip pens. I’ve given up on
begging for roller ball kinds of pens. They used to buy them at work.
They worked, but the new powers that be insist that shit ballpoints are
good enough. That is fine for people with good vision, but my vision
sucks and I’m sure I’m not the only person who likes a nice bold line. I
put in a request for a pack of the pens above. I have no idea if I will
get them or not. I’m sure I’ll complain here either way.
This
pen was recommended to me in middle school. I think the one they used
was not by Sharpie, but it was very similar. I don’t know what happened
to felt tip pens. there must be some manufacturing requirement that
makes them more difficult or rare. Did the market just demand cheap shit
ballpoints that much?
I’ve
been hoarding the old pens at work for months. The pickens have gotten
more and more slim over the last several months. Our honeymoon is over
where office supplies are concerned. The lady from HR said If I needed
anything to give her a call, but I’m not pulling that except as an
absolute last resort. I have never
rarely been the kid to run to teacher when I don’t get my way. For
under $10 of equipment that will last me a year, I’m might pull out the
stop.
Kelly,
why are you not using your laptop? Because I don’t want to drag my
friggin high end 8kg development laptop all over the place. When they
get us light tablets or the next way of connecting to the cloud to do
our work, I’ll probably drop the nice bold felt tip pen on college ruled
paper. I do it sometimes. I need the exercise.
My
father makes pens. They are cool looking pens made from antlers and
bone and such. He made some from empty ammunition shells. They rock. He
uses roller balls for the pen part. If I could find a pen kit that used a
bolder line, I would use the pen he gave me more often. Sorry Dad.
I
write in all caps. I use half height caps for lowercase characters and
full size ones for capitals. I need to do this if I intend to ever read
it again. I found something that works for me. I’m going to stick with
it.

Christmas.
I should write something. Chrismas is important like that. Yhis was a good year. My dad and I spent some quality time in the back yard playing with a resipricle saw and a gril. I got a really cool flashlight. Saw some christmas lights.
Home now getting ready forbed. Work tomorrow. Hope it is a slow several days untill the 2nd. Just no place to go, nowhere I'd rather be than home.
Life has been good to me.
