If you were an office supply -- something that went on a desk, in a desk drawer, or otherwise, what would you be?

Um...a computer. Does that count? It is an office "supply" and it is found on a desk.

To be specific, a new iMac with intel processer and built in camera for video chatting

I want to be the center of the universe and all information.

I'd keep you in a special spot, so you'd be scarier and yet people would be envious and constantly trying to swipe you.

Bet you'd be one of the color coated ones, in hot pink!

I have Mac Trauma and won't use them. I tried, I really did.

Huh?

On the other hand, I refuse to use Windoze machines, so we're even.

I'd be a pink Post-it highlighter with orange post-it flags in my top!

I'd be an old coffee cup filled with pens, pencils and paperclips. The cup with a chip on the lip, a missing handle, a cute saying on the side and a dozen memories attached to it to make the owner smile...

We belong to cult of Mac here. We have PC trauma and won't use them unless we absolutely have to.

But Macs now run Windows. So if it's the software you're avoiding rather than the actual computer, you can have both.

See. The Lamp of Truth knows which machine to shine it's light on!

Early nineties, an office where I worked had Windows machines and Macs. I had never used a Mac. I was asked to transfer a file onto a disk, so I went back to the Mac machine (where the file was). I couldn't get it to give me the disk out of the drive -- no button. It said I had to put the "drive" icon into the trashcan. Now this was counterintuitive to me -- why would I want to discard the drive?

I was 30 minutes wrestling with this. I finally did it, and got the disk, but I never got over it. Macs just don't match up with how I think. I've never had a problem with a non-mac machine (I've used DOS, UNIX and even those mainframe stations) like i had with the MAC. Some people are MAC people, some people aren't. I'm not.

Dear Lamp:

Well, I said I'd send you some e-mail and here it is. Sorry it took me a bit to get this out. Being rejected from the desktop made me rather blue, and I knew composing this e-mail would bring back that moment when I had to leave you guys all over again

But I'm holding my head high and not giving up on finding a place where I'm needed. I'm currently on a freight train making my way through Alabama. I'm playing iTunes on myself to keep my spirits up.

I'll write again soon! Keep that light of yours shining.

You aren't rejected -- you just sit on that special iDesk (I actually saw one of those)

Trying to staple a document has never been so much fun before

A letter-opener.
