Office Supplies, Furniture, Art…

This section of Office Freaks is sort of a catch all. You’re likely to find just about anything here from lol cats to pens and from funny office videos to high brow office furniture. Call it a grab bag, call it a mélange, call it anything you want – but most of all you’ll just call it fun.

The good people at Cartdesk.com would like for you to take a look at their modernlicious CartDesk. I’ve only seen a picture of the desk, myself, but it looks pretty sweet.

Cartdesk

Cartdesk has appeared on “The Today Show”, received the Travel Goods Association “Product Innovation Award”, endorsed by American Airlines as one of the best travel products and is currently featured on MGM’s Stargate Atlantis TV series.

Cartdesk is a light weight carrier that converts into a fully functioning desk in seconds. Extended desktop can hold up to 20lb and carrier can transport up to 50lb. When collapsed it measures just 17.9″ x 6″ x 15.5 ” for easy storage. Cartdesk seems to be perfect for today’s mobile laptop user whether they’re working on-the-go or using limited space.

I love their motto: “With Cartdesk, the world is your office.” What a view!

EDIT: This is one of those posts that,unfortunately become completely worthless.  The cartdesj highlighted has apparently disappeared – seriously, visitors to Office Freaks and I can’t find it anywhere.  My advice is to check www.stacksandstacks.com for cart desks and other similar office products.

Stacks and Stacks isn’t going anywhere!

in⋅ge⋅nu⋅i⋅ty –noun, plural -ties
1. the quality of being cleverly inventive or resourceful; inventiveness: a designer of great ingenuity.
2. cleverness or skillfulness of conception or design: a device of great ingenuity.
3. an ingenious contrivance or device

Change, change, change.  It’s the buzz word of the moment and the mindset of our generation.  Granted, there are some things that are changing that aren’t necessarily for the better – but from where I sit, most of the changes are positive.

One very positive change is the move toward wasting less, using less, and being smart about how we go about our daily lives.  You know, the change that dresses in green and demands that we all do our part to keep our world beautiful for all of its occupants – the ones with skin, fur, feathers, fins, or all of the above.  But enough about my inlaws*.

ipaperlessoffice.com is a website I think you’re going to love.

* I love and have loved all of my inlaws. They have each had skin and not one has sprouted feathers, fins, or fur. That I know of.

This is the best YouTube video I’ve seen in a long time. How do people even think of these things – let alone make them happen. I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw how they used Post it Notes.

Staples Weekly Deals

I smell the skeptism on your breath. I know, I know – Dollar Days usually mean bins of cheap pens, rubber bands, erasers, and notebooks so tiny Smurfette could nap on them.

But Staples is stepping things up in a big way. Check out the following items that are just $1 this week.*

  • Writing pads, perforated, letter size, wide-ruled, 3/pack, it’d take a Smurf Village to fill these up
  • 4/Pack Dry-Erase Markers
  • 4/Pack Sharpie Permanent Markers
  • 6/Pack Highlighters
  • Medium Binder Clips (24/Pack)
  • Gold Paper Clips (100/Pack)
  • Quartet 8-1/2″ by 11″ Magnetic Dry Erase Board

In addition to the Dollar Days specials, there are a lot of office supplies that qualify for “Buy One, Get One Free.”  There are binders, notebooks, filler paper, plastic storage boxes (great for storing Christmas decorations, cans for recycling, etc.), photo paper, etc.

Finally, Staples is getting ridiculously generous with their chairs.  There are savings upwards of $50.   Click the button below to research their various brands and see which are marked down the most.  I noticed that the Sealy Semia Leather Executive Chair was marked down $70 this week. 


Staples. That was easy.

* While supplies last and limit 2 per customer.

sarah_palin-deskcalendar

The Sarah Palin 2009 Calendar is the number one office product right now. I’m not going to unload my political opinions on you and I have no intention of attacking Mrs. Palin in any way – after all, she’s armed. Like, always. My only problem is, in fact, her favorite accessory. She always looks like she just stepped out of “Annie Get Your Gun.”

Sarah, put down the gun. You’re smart, pretty, and seem to have endless wonderful traits. Your lovely face will probably be one we’ll be seeing for years to come. Do us all a favor and let it be smiling without a weapon of total destruction nearby.

Just a request? You betcha.

The Brother PT-80 P-touch Electronic Labeling System is currently number two in Office Supplies on Amazon.

If your fingers do a lot of paper shuffling, money counting, paper sorting, envelope filling, etc., I want to tell you about some serious “finger bling” that you’re going to love. The Tippi Micro Gel Grips are to busy fingers what Crocs are to busy feet. These ridged, gel finger jackets are designed to make tasks like the ones named above much, much easier.

I do a ridiculous amount of reading and research. I’ve been using my Tippi Micro Gel Grips to turn pages with a breeze… No more licking fingers to make the process easier. From a hygene standpoint, I’m more than a little okay with that.

These bright and comfortable little Gel Grips are available in a variety of sizes and colors. They’re latex free, breathable, and downright smart looking. You can find them at Office Max or online.

CART HOMEOFFICE 2BIN BK If you’re anything like me, you’re sitting at your computer desk in pink pajamas nursing your third cup of coffee while Alexa (your youngest, fattest cat) sleeps in front of you, apparently dreaming of running to one of her suppers.

Okay, so maybe you aren’t just like me. Not everyone can make pink pajamas work, after all. But if you’re reading this blog’s posts, I’m pretty sure you have one thing in common with me: We buy office supplies as though we may never be able to again.

Now, generally, that’s a great thing. But when it comes to finding a place to put everything.. or, Heaven forbid we try to organize anything… then, we question our fetish.

Thanks be to God that people make organizers such as the CART HOMEOFFICE 2BIN BK. We get to keep our stuff, and then we actually get to find it!

We actually need one of these in our own home office. I went to organize one of our shelves yesterday and couldn’t find it. I suppose it’s there – underneath the mountain of things I couldn’t live without, but I dunno.

The great thing about the CART HOMEOFFICE 2BIN BK
is that you can see the contents. If you put books in it, you can look through and see the titles.

I really like crates like this for books. I write a lot of book reviews for my blogs, and I like to keep the books that are “pending” book reviews all in one place. This would get them the heck off of my desk and make more room for Alexa. She could… um…. use more room.

Click through the one of the links to take a closer look, as well as to browse around at all of the other organizers. I’m all about organizers lately. I’ve found that they make your life so much easier and tidier. Best of all —- now, lean in close so you don’t miss this part —- you get to buy more stuff!!

Oh no they di’nt. My much beloved Staples has dedicated space in their stores for those little wonders that set a true Office Freak’s heart aflutter. Of course I’m talking about Post It products!

They’ve made some in-store enhancements that include 3M “Post-it Shops.”

Another cool move they’ve made is this: Staples new “Mix it Up” merchandising setup allows customers to buy office products in bulk easily and according to their highly personal preferences (candy store concept) rather than buying entire boxes of supplies. Plastic tubs are sold for a preset dollar amount, and customers can load them up with paper clips, binder clips, push pins, etc.

Now that is easy.
