staple staple staple

So a few weeks ago, we had to fill out a questionnaire thinger here at work as part of a consulting/productivity/employee happiness thing. I had only been here for two weeks at the time, so I imagine my insight was very, very useful.

(pffft)

Part of this involved filling out our job description and the most important tasks we did, how much time we spent on them, and all of that. On mine, I put down the most-important-seeming things: invoicing, receiving payments, calling companies looking for payments so that I can receive them, and so on.

I conveniently forgot to mention that the one thing I spent the most time on was removing staples from piles of paper, and then putting staples back in to those piles of paper.

Do you take the staples out because you don't like the way someone stapled it? I do that.

Yeah, pretty much - and to help with the filing, too. The sales lads like to put in a new staple every time they attach another piece of paper to the packet, so I end up removing six or ten staples from the pile and just putting a single one back in, hehe. Makes it not catch on other papers quite as badly when I'm going through them later.
