Inspirational Office Moment: crazy pens

Taking notes during the Monday-morning "touch-base" is no thrill, but I firmly believe it can be made less painful with a really great writing implement. Most people forge pen allegiances based on practical things—how fine the point is, how smoothly it writes, whether anyone else in the office uses the exact fuchsia shade that's become your signature ink color. While I appreciate these functional concerns, sometimes I just want a pen that's sort of ridiculous and distracting. In an attempt to rein in my most puerile impulse (sigh, Weepul pens), I plan to doodle through my next conference call with a slightly more sophisticated ballpoint feather pen. The Liberty Bell Museum sells these ten-inch quills (no ink pot required) for a piddly $2.50 each, which is more than a bargain, considering they could double as hair accessories if you poke them through one of those sloppy work chignons you wear 4 days out of 5.
