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. |
