Putting the workplace stationery cupboard to use – Part 1

Now, we all know that your employer’s stationery cupboard is the easiest, safest way to supplement a poor wage…

Surveys report stationery theft is the highest level of petty crime within the workplace”

See, so it’s almost expected – probably even factured into the stationery budget, right?

Armed with your iPhone and this knowledge, what can you do?

Well – team this up with your skill of trying to appear busy and hard working – and your love of watching movies on your iPhone and you’re all set to make yourself a handy little iPhone accessory.

What you need:

  • Your iPhone

Putting the workplace stationery cubpoard to use – Part 2

Well, what a fiasco your bulldog clip iPhone stand created, hey?!

I guess you got a little over-zealous by using a year’s supply of the office’s bulldog clips and “black market” selling your iPhone stand to all your co-workers.

You know, it’s not totally your fault.  Remember, they factor a little stationery stealing into the budget – so they’re just playing the well-known corporate “Because I’m the boss” game.  Don’t worry about it.

What’s the worst that happened?  They banned you from free access to the stationery cupboard until you could prove yourself trustworthy.  They were so smug when they said “all you’re allowed is paper, pencils and rubber bands”.  Humpphh.

Their fault for not recognising your ingenuity…

Armed with your iPhone and “pencil allowance”, let’s see how to accessorise your iPhone.

  • Aforementioned ingenuity
  • Simple instructions

Pros:

  • Not only inexpensive, down right free
  • Collapsible
  • Mobile – take it with you everywhere
