One of the sekrit pashuns of my life is office supplies. I take a ridiculous amount of pleasure in having a variety of pens, markets, post-it notes, notebooks, folders, and containers for storing the same. Because of that, it's rare that I reach for something to help me on a project and find myself coming up empty-handed.

Today, I'm empty-handed, though. I need pokies. I need a handful of little pokies and I can't ask anyone here if they have any or any extra because I know that pokies is not the real name for them, but I can't remember what they're called!

You know what I mean. Most of us cube-dwellers have these fabric walls that you can poke little--pokies--into, to hold up papers and whatnot.

I needed a white board. There's a giant one sitting unused next to my desk but I'm not in the mood to crawl around on the floor to use it. So, I decided to do my project on Real Paper and stick it up on the wall--with pokies--so that I can Contemplate it for a day or so and look for problems.

(Stupid Microsoft thesaurus--I tried checking "pokies" and it gave me "plodding" and "jail.")

Whassat pokie thing called you use to stick papers to your wall?
