My pens are always walking off!

No wonder they have tethers on them at the bank!

I cannot get a pen to stay nearby for ANY length of time dammit!

I need a pen clapper. LOL

Yea, I never buy decent pens. I do desktop support, so I end up leaving pens at user's desks.

buy pens in hot pink...and engineer here had the same problem with screwdrivers and tools walking off so he bought a set in hot pink (yeah they actually make them) and hasnt had a problem since...

other than the unmanly color they are easy to spot if someone else is using them or has them on their desk/workbench

I used to do this. Uniball micro in hot fluorescent pink. Was easy to see my entries in the logs but panzies complained about it.

Banks don't like the strange colour either.

He means the color of the casing not the ink.

Well I did both and it was strange at first but I actually liked it.

Think of it as an automatic highlighter.

EDIT:

Have an endless supply of these.
