Addiction

It is a human condition.  I know I have several, and not all are bad.  But I do have an odd one or two.  Perhaps the oddest is buying office supplies.

Sounds crazy right?  I think so too.  It used to be really bad.  I'd want to buy new boxes of pens and pencils every semester/ school year, even though I had hardly used the last ones.

Even now, just last week, when I was shopping for school supplies, I found myself thinking, what about some legal pads?  Do I need more post-its?  What about these pens?  Should I buy some more folders?  Note Cards?  Erasers?

I'm glad that I had a competing voice in my head this year that said: "You have some, you have plenty, still have a bunch left from last year, reuse the ones you have, and no and no."  Saved me some money, and allowed me to walk out with only a 3 subject notebook, a school planner, and some dry-erase markers.

So, that is probably my oddest addiction.  I'm not sure where it comes from.  Perhaps a nerdy instinct to be well equipped, and prepared.  Or perhaps it is the potential in office supplies?  You know, how new supplies could be used for anything. Even that.  Well, maybe not that...

Feel free to share your odd addiction, and see you around campus.
