Working at an office, I often need to write things down. So I looked for a pen. There were no pens at my desk, and neither could I immediately find a supply closet. I wonder if this is a typical non-profit experience. I spoke to friends working for government agencies this summer who had interesting takes on the whole supply issues as well. In sum:

Private sector: Go to the supply closet and get a pen.
Government: Fill out a requisition form and wait six weeks to get a pen.
Non-profit: Pen? What pens? Bring your own pen and jealously guard it in case someone tries to commander said pen.

There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities. - Michael Dell
