OK, so who else does this? You’re at work, and you get a cut, scrape, or something and you start bleeding. Instead of going to the supply closet or wherever and grabbing a bandaid, you simply make your own bandaid using desk supplies?
- Grab a piece of Kleenex and tear off maybe a third. Fold this over a few times so it’s a nice small square and then place it on top of the wound.
- Use Scotch tape to secure Kleenex to skin.
See? It’s that simple! Of course, sometimes I’ll substitute a post-it note for Kleenex.
One time I needed to wrap a present before I went home. I didn’t have wrapping paper, so I instead used copier paper. And for the bow? I used dental floss I got at the dentist. This may be the only time I ever used dental floss from the dentist.
UPDATE: I sat down in my chair and the side pocket caught on the arm and made a small rip in the seam. (Don’t worry Amie, it looks fixable). But depending on how the fabric folded, all would be blinded by the view of my pasty-white thigh. So I laid a bunch of tape together to make a “patch”. I stored this patch on the backside of my tie, went to the bathroom, and applied it. Hopefully it lasts through the day. I’ve contemplated taking a black marker and draw on my leg so it blends in, but it doesn’t look like I’ll need to do that.
What stuff have you made at your desk?
