Things That Would Come in Handy
Right now, the three pieces of *small* larger office equipment that would make like much better are:
1. My own printer/scanner/copier, maybe with a fax, too. A desktop one, like one of those square ones or rectangle ones that sit really nicely on a bookshelf and make me very happy. I would really like to have my own printer for those time when I'm lazy and don't want to walk to the Library, and for when I want to print things like corrected business cards and writing on pretty paper.
2. A paper-shredder. Just one of those little 8-sheet ones with a catch-basket underneath. I think they're pretty inexpensive. I get tired of having to tear up all my multiple extra copies of drafts of my writing. A shredder would make life much simpler, and would go faster.
3. A filing cabinet. I can't wait to buy a filing cabinet. Just one of those little, two-drawer jobbies that hold so much. Because then, I can have all of my stuff - like, my business stuff (insurance, taxes, documents, etc) - in one drawer, and my writing drafts in the other drawer, and I know where EVERYTHING is. Because, for an almost OCD, organized person like myself, not having enough space to properly store things drives me CRAZY. Like, bugshit on the window crazy.
***
The only other thing that would make me really happy is a piano to play. I am feeling a dearth of music in my life, music that I create. The piano in the lobby of my dorm is so out-of-tune that it is painful to hear. Sometimes, I do it just because I need to play. I'm envious of my sistir and hir keyboard. At this point, even a keyboard would be enough, with a pair of nice headphones, so that I could play all I want. I miss those ivories under my fingers.
And, allowing one's self multiple creative outlets tends to only enhance each of the creative pursuits. This means music=better writing, and I need all the help I can get.
