The Words Of The Prophets Are Written On The Subway Walls And Tenement Halls

I managed to break Wite Out today. ::facepalm::

In my defense, it was one of those new-fangled Wite Outs today's kids are using, the kind that comes in this weird round container that you hold like a pen, and then just glide over whatever you want to white out, and it puts down...okay, so I didn't realize this, I guess I thought it was just some new state of matter that consisted of liquid Wite Out in solid form, but is apparently just...tape? Of some kind? And I was trying to white out what I had to white out and I was doing a bad job of it to begin with (because I'm not used to the pen, I can't predict exactly where the edges of the Wite Out lie), and all of a sudden I noticed there was this clear strip that was coming out of the pen on the other side of the "nib", and the more I pressed the longer the clear strip got, and it was getting in the way (and hadn't been there before) so I did what any logical Alexandrian general would do and just cut it off, and apparently that effectively ruined the Wite Out pen, and whenever I tried to use it again the Wite Out wouldn't stay on the paper, and we had to throw it away.

This will just go under the list of office supplies I'm not allowed to use. The first was those plastic letter openers; apparently I don't know my own strength. Now Wite Out. Because I'm a dumbass.

my workplace sucks
