At work, if we need stationary we speak to the receptionists who have a stock - or they can order things.
So there I was, after a new pen. All I wanted was a white permanent marker - nothing that special, right...?
Turns out I was the first person - ever - in our organisation or the those we serve - to order such a thing.
It required 2 specialist purchasing people. A justification of why I wanted it (I need to write on black things). A reason why I didn't want to stick a label on the thing and then write on the label in black.
Finaly it went to a manager.
And now they've ordered a box. Of a dozen.
