Oh, hell, no...

Some of you may remember my previous posts on pens and their importance to me. Namely that people shouldn't STEAL them from my desk.

Some may even remember how I took the time to affix small WARNING LABELS to each of my new Pentel RSVP pens that say "Please don't steal me!"

Lateley I've been noticing my RSVP pen count depleting from it's original menagerie of 6 pens to a paltry 3.

"Ugh. Who even cares anymore? My LABELED pens even get stolen. Screw it."

At least that was my thinking until I saw a co-worker (slightly my superior) WITH ONE OF MY PENS. AND SHE TOOK THE LABEL OFF.


AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This being Friday, and me being too tired out with all the other shit on my plate to say anything, I dejectedly let it slide. Didn't say ANYTHING.

Didn't say anything even when I saw her put it in her mouth. Yeah. That's right. And she was gesturing with the pen so much I almost thought she was rubbing it in my face,

"Yeah honey, I took your damn pen. I took it and I made it MINE. Made it mine by ripping off your courteous label and SUCKING ON IT."


I guess thats just how much of a doormat I am. I can't even ask for my stolen pen back. God, I need to grow some.

She's doing it on purpose. She's playing with you, waiting for you to confront her.

Put a harsher warning on your pens. Something like: "Stop licking my pens you fucking cunt." That oughta do it. :)

Poppy Cede said...

(Sorry for saying the C word on your blog. But, I was trying to be crass. Who wants to put a pen with a filthy warning on it in their mouth?)

Pat Angello said...

Wow! Poppy is a bit, um, uptight?

I'd say you put a warning like" "Take this pen and die in a sea of blood!" that oughta do it!

TheIdleReceptionist said...

HAHAHAHA! You guys made me laugh out loud!

v said...

I'm with Poppy. You need to make a pre-emptive strike and the c-word can be like your special ops unit.

Those who don't have B.A.'s are evil!

Evil!

Oh yeah, from now on please call me B.A. Baracas.

Poppy Cede said...

I'm probably uptight, but am also too aware of office politics, power struggles, and control issues. She's rubbing it in her face that she stole her pens, and there is intent there - she took the label off. Game on!

High Desert Diva said...

Hhhmmm. Until you get the courage to say something, perhaps you should put out decoy pens that have taken a quick dip in the toilet. When you see her sucking on one of them, it'll at least make you feel a little better and maybe even make you smile.

Eeeww! Who suggested such an evil & disgusting thing?! Surely not moi! ;D

TheIdleReceptionist said...

tg8 -B.A? Am I missing something? I don't get it.

poppy -Yeah...this is the same lady that praised me with "good girl!" And won't shut up about her kids!

HDD -OOooohhh...you are devilish! ;o)

Pen theft is a crime that touches everyone,

This is why I use crayons. Blue green is way better than green blue.

TheIdleReceptionist said...

Hmm...I suppose that *would* solve the theft problem.

v said...

By B.A. I meant a Bachelor of Arts degree.

I've deducted that you must have a BA in like Fine Art or something. I have a BA in Film Studies (that I don't use - ::sniffles::).

I'm guessing the people at your work don't have BA's.

People with BA's should stick together and create a cabal to take over the world.

Also, BA Baracas was Mr. T's character on THE A-TEAM.

Sometimes people think I go too far with my weird jokes. To them I say I don't go far enough!

High Desert Diva said...

Yeah, I'd never ACTUALLY go through with it...but I've certainly THOUGHT about doing something like that many a time ;D

...and come to think about it, the more I think about doing something mean, the more I just end up stewing and getting more upset, so just disregard all of this ;P

When the time is right, I'm SURE you'll be able to figure out a way to stand up for yourself in a mature and professional manner. No worries!

TheIdleReceptionist said...

tg8 -No, sadly I am lacking a BA, ergo my RECEPTIONIST blog. Hopefully once I *do* get my BA I can do something cool and major related.

The weird jokes are the fun ones.

HDD -Yeah, if nothing else, re-labeling the pens to say, "Don't steal me, KAYE."

I hate my pens being stolen. I have an office supply addiction and my pens are important to me. My favorite type of pen is the Uni-Ball Vision Elite. The medium flow ones are the best!

But I hide these because my husband takes them...classmates ask to borrow them, and then they are gone!

TheIdleReceptionist said...

Oh, one of my co-workers always uses the hot pink Uni-Ball. It's like, steal this, bitch? And I'll come after you.


Everyone needs a crappy "lending" pen.

markus said...

we used this invisible powder at my old job that stains the culprits fingers when they touch something they shouldn't!

TheIdleReceptionist said...

Ooohhh...kinda like chemicals added to chlorine to turn pee red. No more mystery warm spots in the pool.
