Abstract
On my desk sits the well-worn stapler I smuggled in an old printer paper box from my last job. “This is MY stapler,” I thought as I tucked it into a back corner of one of the non-descript boxes that lined my office wall. The dull black paint is worn away where the space between my thumb and pointer finger holds it. It’s not like the new one that sits in my desk drawer; this one is a well-oiled relic from the past that moves smoothly and requires very little attention.
