postjack Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Perhaps we should subcontract out to Postjack International? (Which would probably just subcontract out to Sri Lanka, or perhaps someplace innovative, like Kyrgyzstan.) Postjack International is available for all your subcontractual moderator based needs. Our trained staff of Kyrgyztanian Internet forum experts have a strong grasp of American/Western European internet colloquialisms and are top notch to provide all services hey Julie Andrews and the cast of the Sound of Music are on Today. I did not realize it's the most popular musical of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I like those Uniball pens, but .5mm is too fine for me. My office has the Pilot .5mm and .7mm, and my secretary hordes the .7mm for me. Uniball Vision Elite Micro (0.5mm) is the only way to go (as long as we are only talking about disposable pens). I once stabbed myself with one of those - trying to recap in a big hurry, missed, and drew blood from my finger. Anyone know a good lawyer?

jvlgato Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 That's a nice looking pencil! It reminds me of my engineering student days, a loooong time ago. I really miss the cool pencils and calculators! Now everything has to be in ink - no erasing allowed in my world! I don't even think I'd impale myself on that because I would never need to recap it! I carry one of these Rotring multipens for fun, but rarely get to use it. It's kinda cool because it uses gravity to select which thing to push out when you click.

I had one of those...not sure where it is now, and I don't need the stylus anymore, and don't use pencil, so I guess it's not a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two of those, the black in 0.35mm and the silver in 0.5mm. I love the 0.5mm but tend to break the lead too much on the 0.35mm. They are really great pencils though.

jvlgato Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 are you allowed to use white out? Sure, white out is ok, or white out tape, just no erasing. Sometimes I just take scissors and cut out the part I don't like, such as when the pt complains that I suck. Then I write what I like better and tape it on top of the bad stuff to cover it up. Sometimes I like to write secret messages in invisible UV ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further shows shelly has all the cool toys I've been looking for a black 0.3mm for the longest time for a sane price but they are all nuts. I went through the same lead breaking phase with the 0.3mm but if you stick with it you will reduce the amount of pressure you put on the tip leading to less breakage. Also leads to a waaaaaay nicer writing experience. I used to get bad pain while writing because I used to hold pencils so hard. The 0.7 mm pencils seem like crayons now. Also depends on what lead you use. Softer will break faster but will also lead you to hold the pencil with a softer grip a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I used to get bad pain while writing because I used to hold pencils so hard I get this.

luvdunhill Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 for essay finals i would sometimes fill three or four blue books in an hour and a half or two hours. typically i couldn't use my writing hand for anything the rest of the day, due to pain. writing sucks. my hand writing is basically illegible, those essay finals were fun all around. For my upper level language classes I'd request a oral exam. Nothing like reading 100 lines of Virgil or Homer, but it was rather nerve racking..

Don't know if will help my death grip since I self taught myself to hold my pencil the "wrong" way. Also, some of the prices on ebay aren't too bad I think.

crappyjones123 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I had to do a double take when I saw doc's post I write too slow.

jvlgato Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I had to do a double take when I saw doc's post Heh, sorry. Keep in mind when reading my posts that we psychiatrists are goofier than any of our patients. This is well known among health care workers; Deepak and boomana can verify that, I'm sure.
