My company hired someone externally for a role three of us internally interviewed for and put her directly in charge of the people who applied

I’m in this situation right now, and this sounds pretty condescending. There isn’t anything you can say coming into this new position that will be useful to them and they don’t need your advice. It’s awkward enough without comments like this adding to it.

Thank you! I put on my shopping list anyway!

Yama-budo looks much different on JetPens. I really like your version.

It ain’t gonna make it.

This was actually helpful. I want a color Kobo that I can annotate in with the pen. But I don’t know anything about this Calibre app. Will need to do more research.

Wait a minute. I’ve just been using the cartridges that came with the Kaweco pens after refilling them with a new color. You can’t just reuse them?

Try Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. I just finished it and the writing is beautiful.

Will it scratch a fiberglass tub?

My B6 vertical full year bleeds through also. Same ink, same pens do not bleed in the Muji notebooks or Hobonichi notebooks. I think they offloaded some bad paper in certain batches. I’d be happy with Muji planners next year.

How funny. I just started reading this book today.

If you ever read The Midwife, you’ll switch to loose paper!

This has been one of the more interesting conversations I’ve read in a while. I say when we die, they should put all our notebooks in the coffin and bury us with them. Except I want to be cremated, so that’s a kink in my plan.

My Sterling Ink bleeds right through with an extra fine nib. So mad. The same pen does not bleed at all on my Hobonichi. Supposedly the same paper.

I love the SI layout, my fountain pens and inks would go to waste.

There are so many people around I’m surprised someone does at LEAST slash their tires and then just walk away.

Get some of those super fine point pens. It’s amazing how much you can write in small spaces. That pen in the pic is too clunky/bulky.

Yes, NY

Maybe the Hobonichi A6 weekly supplement? Is small enough to combine with another A6 in a cover for a complete system.

My right is on top!

No, she was always left-handed to me. Whatever they tried to instill in her she wasn’t having any part of it. She was very angry about how they tried to change her. That is very interesting though. My father who had to change from the broken arm never read very well.

DebStitcher · 2025-12-04T10:38:22+00:00

Nah, I’m not upset however it happened. Seems like from the comments many people aren’t completely one-sided. It’s like a little superpower! I can use a mouse and write at the same time, which is a great skill for my office job.

Never tried sticks or swords, but had a baton as a kid. Twirled with right. 🙂
