In my job, I use A LOT of paper clips. I go through boxes of them, mostly because in my department we're copy-happy, killing forest after forest for paper. We make copies, scan, print, scan, make copies... you get the idea. Most don't like their paper stapled because it's a pain to take the staple out and use paperclips anyway.
I somehow decided that I want to use the same paperclips over and over and over. I get these really cool shiny colored ones that happen across my desk every once in a while, and I collect them. The paperclips I have are somehow leaner and hold papers together more firmly. I freak out a little in my head if I lose one. If I leave any of them on the copier, I'll go back there to retrieve them, rather than just get out a new box.
I like my paperclips!
It's just a "thing." Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go look for my mind. I seem to have lost it.

LOL!!!!! Melanie I love you!!!
Okay, so funny story. I keep using your paperclips to put papers onto files. A couple times I have pulled a colored one, and every time (for whatever ESP reason) I put the colored one BACK into your holder!! I've kept the metal ones, but the colored ones I am careful to replace when I return the file. I must have sensed they were important to you. HA HA HA! Now I don't feel as crazy!
That makes me laugh out LOUD! Really hard! That is so funny!
