Saturday Six #257

Patrick’s Place Saturday Six #257

1. What kind of workspace would you most prefer: a desk out in the open with your co-workers, a cubicle that’s part of a maze of cubicles, a small office just large enough to give you a little privacy when you need it, or a grandiose office with a big city view?
I would prefer a small office with a window. This is view from my office where I intern.

2. Is your desk at work more organized or less organized than your workspace at home?
About the same, piled high with projects

3. Which single office supply do you find that you use the most?
Paper. We do not use that much where I am interning, but where I used to work I use to joke that we produced more paper than product.

4. You notice that a co-worker has taken one of your office supplies: a pair of scissors or a stapler, for example. You see that your name is on it when he opens his desk drawer. Shortly afterwards, he leaves for lunch. Do you retrieve your stuff or leave it there?
No, I just order a new one. it is not worth the fight, I just keep that information for future reference.

5. Take the quiz:
What Office Supply Are You?




You Are a Calculator



No matter what someone tells you, you're likely to focus on facts and data. You're a highly analytic person. You are only concerned with what you can know for sure.

You look at situations objectively, and you have no problem approaching problems from multiple angles. You would make a good analyst or investment banker. You are confident enough to make tough calls and hard decisions.



6. Which of the following are you most likely to use the most at work: a cheap ballpoint, a felt-tip, a Sharpie marker, a dry erase marker, or a pencil?
Actually none of the above, I like a gel-tip pen with rubber cushions.

  1. Hi Diana - your view from your office is awfully nice.

    As someone who scans documents, I find that we still use WAY too much paper for an office that has files scanned to an online database. But hopefully we're moving to a nearly paperless workplace in the not-too-distant future. I'm actually an old-fashioned bookish sort who really loves paper and handwriting. I'd hate to see paper disappear entirely.
