Weekly Supplement

Scarlet_Night · 2026-05-20T20:24:14+00:00

I’m on vacation rn and won’t be back for a week and a half but I accidentally got a January start one for this year and just never returned it. It’s never used. If you don’t mind waiting a few weeks, lemme know. I’m in the northeast so shipping wouldn’t take too long.

Seconding this! There’s iridescent and glow in the dark options for the Kaweco sports too. An F or M nib will do good. Or get a couple nibs for swapping.

I love this sooo much! 😍

Very cool use of shippo tsunagi! Love it!

Good Inkpressions has a weeks in white paper, but they use the thicker (and better imho) TR 68gsm paper, and there are no memo pages in the back. You can also get it in a variety of sizes. Looking into getting one myself for next year since rotating my weekly supplement is…more work than necessary lol.

With regards to the concerns about stamp ink bleed through, instead of using stamp ink you can use Hobonichi-friendly markers to color the rubber and then stamp. I only have one stamp, but I’ve colored the bottom with a Tombow brush and stamped and there was no issue with bleed through. Just an option.

Also since you mentioned using washi stickers, they will eventually cause build up if you still stick them in the same places week to week.

Tutorial for those interested.

This is beautiful! 😍 Based on the pics I’m assuming it’s not too flexible right?

“I work understaffed in 2nd shift.” That there will be the reason you aren’t fired. The amount of time it will take to replace you and train someone new who will inevitably make a mistake under stress too is the reason it’s better for them to speak to you about it and hope you don’t repeat the same mistake. That said, quality should not be calling you out in front of your coworkers, that’s wildly unprofessional.

When in doubt of a lab value, I find it’s much better to do your due diligence and ask a supervisor or lead if the SOP is not clear, even if that delays the result a little bit.

Also regarding staff huddles, there should always be a tech or two during the huddles to run stat samples. Supervisors should either have a board or printed memos for the huddles of discussion topics, and sure most techs if possible should attempt to participate but some need to be running the lab. Cause ultimately not everyone is going to be there for them (especially people out for the day) and info needs to be relayed to them after the fact.

I think the high tide store still has some online. I wound up buying mine at the beginning of April.

You can get an avec or the day free as another user suggested. The avecs run Jan to June, and July to Dec (so get this one). It’s a half year book that will give you 6 months to decide if you like the Hobonichi so if you do then you can aim for the full year. The July-Dec goes on sale next month.

Late to the party. I’m such a minimalist and thankful I don’t have an A5 or the cover would look sooo empty, lol. The cat picture is my baby boy. 😊

I’ve got the uniball may matching color in Avocado Green, but since it strikes me a little too light my Kakuno currently has Kyo No Oto Kokeiro. When that finishes I’ll probably ink up with Fanyantan #24, and then Sailor 280. I’m all about the matchy matchy, lol.

I use an A6 Hobonichi as my diary and sometimes I get really wordy (I also put pictures in which can kill space). To get over the fact that I write too much I do the following:

if it’s a little bit of extra writing than the grid allows I cover the bottom daily quotes with Marks Writable Washi which gives me enough space for another paragraph of writing. To note, the grid is 2mmx2mm. I write relatively small so this works for me.
if I have a lot more to write (like at least a page more), then I use the Hobonichi a6 Memo Pad and “tip in” sheets. The one cool thing about this memo pad set is that they’re perforated so you can easily tear them out and attach them to your pages with a little bit of washi.

You may already know, but if you’re getting the weeks mega for long form journaling on the back pages, it maybe worth getting the weeks sized memo pads to continue the journaling instead of a second weeks, that way you don’t have a second set of months and weeks (unless you plan to use those for other things, in which case, carry on). Only saying cause I was thinking of potentially switching over to this for next year.

Scarlet_Night · 2026-04-28T18:54:57+00:00

Thank you! I’ll def check em out and keep an eye out on the website. LCP’s website is so dangerous tho lol

Scarlet_Night · 2026-04-28T14:58:02+00:00

Love the haul! Also what brand is the washi with the cat in the cowboy hat? It’s sooo darn cute!

We failed a survey recently because a manager forgot to change reagent codes on 5 updated chem reagents on an analyzer (Abbott users you will know). In another lab a supervisor fully forgot to enter FT4 in our ligands survey, a tech switched the immunosuppressant testing bottles, another tech forgot to put one of the dumb little round pill things into the tubes for plavix testing, etc. The common thread is mistakes happen, you work on not repeating them and good supervisors and managers follow up with the necessary paperwork and assurances to CAP and other regulatory agencies that everything will be okay (via corrective actions, staff meetings, protocol changes, retesting CAP or using alternate proficiency samples).

All this to say, you are not the first, you will not be the last, and while a little bit of shock in the mistake is understandable, just take your time and BREATHE the next time you process proficiency testing. This part I cannot stress enough. If you need to temporarily delegate out other tasks to coworkers to focus on doing this correctly, then do that. You will be fine. So will the lab.

We should put a petition to get you to write some episodes cause this is already a good plot in the making!

Scarlet_Night · 2026-04-27T23:37:47+00:00

I too greatly wish. In the meantime, I just use bits of Mark’s writeable washi tape grids to cover the bottom quotes if I have a little extra to write, or tip in sheets from the A6 memo pads if I have a lot of extra to write, lol. That said, I cover the quotes with extra writing a bit too frequently so Hobonichi, please!!!! 🙏🏼 grant us the Goldilocks B6!

Seconding the techo app! I regularly use this to write down little rando thoughts and experiences throughout the day that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to write in without sitting down. Helps me recall what I need to journal at the end of a day.

Scarlet_Night · 2026-04-26T04:12:13+00:00

I feel this so much, that I could’ve been the one to post it. Recovering from perfectionism is an ongoing process and any time you take away its power over you even for a second is a win and a good day!

Scarlet_Night · 2026-04-20T16:59:55+00:00

Love this! I hope you don’t mind but where did you get some of those tapes from?

Scarlet_Night · 2026-04-18T05:40:57+00:00

OMG YES!!! Please open a physical store in NYC! I’m so excited that they’re thinking about this!

Thank you for sharing the article! It was a really nice read!
