A Paper Cut


 
"Ouch!  Ouch!  Ouch!  Pencil Man, can you get me a bandaid?"  Pencil Point yelled in distress.

 

A Pencil Point with a paper cut...

"What is the matter?"  I asked as I came running down the hall.

 

"I got a paper cut!  It's a bad one! From a file folder,"  said Pencil Point.  (We have all gotten one.... we know they hurt.)

 

"Ouch, Pencil Point.  You are right.  Those do hurt.  But check out this product from Smead.  It's a cutless file folder.  They designed it to have softer edges for no more paper cuts."  I said as I showed him the file folder.

 

"Really, Pencil Man?  That is awesome.

I didn't even know they could do that, but it seems like a good invention!"

 

"Well it is certainly the perfect time of year to use them as people organize last year's files,"  I said.  

 

 As Always, Stay Sharp!

Getting Organized

 

The holidays are over and it's time to get organized for the New Year.  That means me too!  I sit here and write this newsletter and I want to talk about so many things.  You need new files, storage boxes, labels, a new chair (you know you haven't been comfortable in a while...) But the one important product I want to talk about today is shredders.  


 

If you are not shredding old documents, company or personal information, then it's time to start.  It will leave your desk more organized and you get rid of old documents.  Another big reason to shred?  It's the LAW!  Now I am not the shredding police but each of us is required by Federal Law and increasingly by state and local mandates to protect certain types of information.  So bottom line-- shred!!  Keep documents secure and shred them!  If you are in the market for a new shredder, check out what Meg has to say about the Fellowes 73Ci.  We are happy to discuss your needs - whether a personal desk side shredder or a shared work group model.  Call us at 800-339-7103 and we can help with suggestions and recommendations.  We can even let you know about any manufacturer rebates on selected models.
