Whether you're actually bored at work or just want to see some awesome creations, this is worth a look!

Yesterday many communities had local elections and, of course, we are in the midst of all the presidential debates and campaigns, so it just seems fitting that today's topic is:

Presidential Trivia

This is the time of year when people start focusing on cleaning and janitorial items - it's cold and flu season - and keeping things clean and sanitary.  So when a manufacturer's rep came to see me with a new product line called PAK-IT, I thought it would be a timely topic.

PAK-IT is a new system of cleaners that has a broad product line, encompassing bathroom cleaners, carpet cleaners, glass & hard surface cleaners, all-purpose cleaners, floor cleaners and more.  It's competitors are products such as Windex, Lysol, Pine-Sol, Tilex, Kaboom, Vanish, Resolve, Febreze and Mr. Clean.

BOO!

Did I scare you?  

Aww.................

Well anyway, since Saturday is Halloween, our topic today is:

Halloween Trivia

If you're looking for contemporary furniture for your office space, consider the Voi line from Hon.  Voi is a sleek, simple product that is incredibly versatile and can be configured in an amazing number of ways; it offers a unified, integrated design for the entire workspace.  Voi features layered work surfaces, practical storage components and footprints that can be customized to create the perfect mix of functionality and style.  Its trendy look is created through the magic of mixed materials.  

Today's topic is:

I am excited to share another new product with you today and I think it's going to take off like a rocket when people find out it exists.  

Avery has come out with a line of self-laminating labels.  They're called Easy Align Self-Laminating ID Labels (printable) or Durable Self-Laminating ID Labels (hand write). These labels are the solution for the times that you need a durable label or a weather-resistant label.  We've all done the tape thing; you know - covering the label with tape to try to protect it.  (Yes you have.)  This product creates perfectly laminated labels with no laminating machine needed and they are super easy to use.

John Lennon said,

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.  When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I wrote down 'happy.'  They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."

I was raised on country music - I think I've mentioned that before - and I've been humming a few songs over and over and over today.  Just can't get them out of my head.  So I decided to make that our topic today:

Country Music Trivia

When last we met to discuss custom printing, we were exploring process color vs. spot color.  Today we will venture further into the world of color space.  Color space is one of the most often misunderstood terms.  Also called a color model, it  refers to the range of colors, or gamut, that a device can reproduce.

I like ballpoint pens - specifically retractable fine point blue ink ballpoint pens.  Don't even try to give me black ink or medium point.  Just don't.  I also don't like gel ink or rollerball ink.  Sure, the gel ink pens are fun because you can get them in fun ink colors like pink or purple or orange or green  (I can do that with ballpoints too) but I don't like the way the ink writes, the way it feathers on the paper or the way it smears.  Yes, I know there are all kinds of "new, revolutionary" gel ink pens out there, but I run into the same issues with all of them.  The same goes for rollerballs.  

I'm going to go a little off topic with today's question.  It's not a trivia question - it's a brain teaser.  (I guess you could classify it as useless trivia.................)  So anyway, here goes........

Hello Everyone - October 4-10 is National Fire Prevention Week.  Safety in the workplace is a hugely important topic and fire prevention is nothing to skimp on.  Is your company in compliance with OSHA regulations?

What do OSHA standards require?

Welcome Back my fellow Trivia Geeks!  Do you feel lucky today?

I hope so, because today's topic is:

If I say "Office Furniture" to you, probably the first things that come to your mind are desk, chair and credenza.  You wouldn't be alone in that thought, but there is more to office furniture than just the "hardware."  Room accessories play a major role in the decor of your office; they help create the atmosphere and the comfort level of both your employees and guests (really important if you are in a medical office).

Yep.  I said thumb tacks.  

Creative people never cease to amaze me.  How many different things can you think of to do with a thumb tack?  I couldn't come up with very many, but I'm not a really creative person.  I happened upon a blog post recently on www.brit.co about clever ways to repurpose office supplies and the writer has some really cute ideas.  Here are a few of them:

Happy Trivia Day!

Today I am testing your knowledge of:

Common Denominators

You've done well with this category in the past........let's see how you do today.

The kids have been back to school for a couple weeks now and hopefully the reviews of last year's material are almost over.  Time to move on to new (and exciting?) topics.

If you are an elementary school teacher, this item may interest you.  It's called Measure Man Bulletin Board set. 

When I wrote my very first Thought for the Day post, I said, "They will be short and sweet; sometimes they will be philosophical, sometimes they will be humorous.  Whatever strikes my fancy.  Just a blip in the middle of your day."  Well, this one will be a little off track of what I usually do, but I just have to say this.

Bond.  James Bond.

I'm in Hollywood mode again this week, so today I am testing your knowledge of the ultimate male (at least according to my better half).
