  • Some of the small pleasures of small business ownership... the arrival of new marketing materials! πŸ˜€ I think it taps into that slightly OCD part of my brain that wakes up every time I walk into an office supply closet. The orderly rows of steno pads and envelopes, full boxes of pens that all match, #2 pencils with unblemished erasers, the smell of binding glue and new paper. File folders. Loose leaf binders. Clear, stackable, lidded plastic file boxes. Brand new rolls of tape as far as the eye can see. The momentary feeling that, yes... Yes! You can file and sort and color code and alphabetize and stack and store and... ... be organized! That business and life CAN be ordered and make sense if you just find the right combination office supplies to categorize everything neatly. Fresh office supplies are the harbingers of new beginnings.... the first days of school, the new job, the new business, sitting down to pen a letter or start that novel. An infinite horizon of possibilities... But then the A/C kicks in again, and fresher air removes the intoxicating scent of fresh paper and tape from your nostrils. You blink and see simple stacks of paper and such, mutely waiting for you. . . So yay! New postcards and rack cards and gift certificates. . . #lifeofapotter #officesupplies #theordinarysublime #marketing
