quidditchgrrlI got tagged for this, so here goes:
Something you didn't know. Make a post in your journal about something you think most people don't know about you. Don't be shy; elaborate. Then tag 5 people so that you learn something new about them.
Okay, so I like to use things up. You name it: pens, pencils, watch batteries. I get a great amount of satisfaction in using a pen until the ink is completely gone. In college, I would use one pen at a time so that one pen got used completely before I threw it out.
I'm a teensy bit obsessive about this, not overtly, but if I lose a pen or a tube of lip gloss before it's been used up, I think about it. At night. Wondering where it went to or if someone is using it - there was plenty of ink left!
Taking my office supplies is the best way to put me on the warpath at work; all of my supplies are labeled with my name. Using the last Post-It, leaving the waxy back strip gives me a good feeling. If that waxy piece falls off, I will use the Post-Its "backwards" (pulling from the side that has the sticky strip) so as to be able to use every Post-It.
I use every pad of paper I've been given. I'm still using the pads of paper that Grand Officers used to hand out as favors, and I'm writing out my grocery list on some off-brand sticky notes because I don't want to throw them away (although the sticky part doesn't tear off completely and doesn't stick at all).
This applies 100% to the following: pens, pencils, highlighters, lip gloss, watches, paper, Post-It notes, candles, mascara, toothpaste, lotion, Sharpies.
I think it's efficient; most of my family think I have a touch of OCD (or ODD, in my family's lingo).
You can blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
roguebitch for the above TMI about PBG.
As you were.
