Happy Labor Day!

The first Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York City, but it wasn't made an official holiday until 1894 when President Grover Cleveland signed a bill making it a national holiday.  Labor Day is both a celebration of the contributions and achievements of the men and women in the workforce and a celebration of the end of summer.

Cold & Flu Season is Coming!

I know..........you read the title and said to yourself, "Are you kidding me?  It's only the beginning of September!"  But like it or not, cold & flu season will be here before you know it.  The pharmacies in my area have had their "Get your flu shot" signs up since the beginning of August even though the shots weren't available yet.

I am the proud parent of an Eagle Scout and the Scout motto is Be Prepared.  Now is the time for you to check your first aid kits - both at home and in the office - and make sure your medicines are unexpired and that the kit is complete.  You should have some cold & flu supplies......

Can you smell what the Rock..........is.................cooking?

Ah, the good old days.  One of my favorite things to watch b.c. (before children) was professional wrestling - the WCW and WWE.  My better half and I would watch it together every Monday and Thursday.   And buy the pay-per-view events.  It was fun.  WCW is long gone and now it's just WWE.  I still catch it occasionally, but I'm really not up on it like I used to be.

Betcha can guess what my topic is today, huh?

Filing Storage For Tight Spaces

Have a small office?  Not a lot of space for shelf files or large filing cabinets but still have files that need to be accessible?  Consider a rolling file cart.

Rolling file carts, or mobile tub files, are a great way to keep active files handy without taking up a lot of space.  And, since they're mobile, they can easily go wherever you need them to be.  With or without a lid, these carts are available in a variety of sizes and configurations:

Update: inPOWER+ Staplers

Back in June, I wrote a review of the new inPOWER+ staplers by PaperPro and my team and I gave them 4 paper clips.  Although they did have a couple shortcomings, we felt that they could be easily fixed if the manufacturer chooses to and thought it was overall a good product.

Fast forward two and a half months............................I've been using this stapler daily ever since and, as it turns out, a couple of weeks just wasn't sufficient to show its true colors.  I am downgrading this item from 4 paper clips to 3 paper clips and here's why:

Justick boards are an item that has actually been around for about 10 years over in Europe and recently made its debut in the United States.  It's a line of display boards (whiteboards, bulletin boards, lobby boards, tabletop presentations and promo stands) that gives you the ability to display items without using tape, push pins, glue or magnets.

Today I'm going to show you the whiteboards.

Thought for the Day

Today I'd like to share a few humorous thoughts with you.

 

First, why is it that if someone tells you there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you have to touch it to be sure?
