People at my work place stealing my pens.

It seems like I can never leave my pen out at work. The moment you look away its gone. I understand that this happens everywhere but its like pen ninjas are on the loose...and at one point and time this week I had two pens sitting on my table. I really only need one so I could see someone taking the other but they took both! Its craziness.
Does anyone else have antics like this where they work?

I hated it when I was at school and people did this to me. I was always the kind of person who was organised with things and this meant that if anybody needed anything they always knew that I would be the person who would have it. They would never give it back after they had borrowed my things, and they would usually end up losing them. I didn't like this, as it would mean that I was having to pay more money for the things that people should never have taken in the first place because they just simply didn't belong to them.

In school I can't say I was ever organized. I wish I had been, many of our grades were partially based on how organized we were at the end of the year. I was terrible at it! Now that I'm older and have bills and responsibilities I am much more organized. I'm usually the one at my work place who will have everything I need, sadly making me the person most people borrow things from.

ooh, I hate it when people take my pens! With all the different types of pens available, it can be difficult to find a really good pen that writes well. Our youngest son loves to draw with pens, for awhile there it seemed that we did indeed have a "pen ninja" lol!
The way we work around this is by having a pen basket that is sitting up on a shelf, just out of reach so our youngest can't get to them as easily. It is filled with lots of different types and colours ;-)
