That feeling when you're at work...

Well as I see it, there is only one thing to do.Spydergirl88 wrote:And you can't bring your spydies bc your coworkers would freak if they saw you flicking your PM2 open every 5 seconds :rolleyes:
Find a one handed job that gives you more flick-time, and/or better co-workers.
After all you have your priorities............ :cool:
Re: That feeling when you're at work...
Become self-employed.. :D John :cool:

Re: That feeling when you're at work...
If you can bring it, bring it. :)
I checked with the head of security about bringing knives to work and he said if it's lawful according to the Texas penal code then it's fine. This is one of the largest corporations in the world. I bring Spyderco Militaries, my Szabo folder, Zero Tolerance 0560 flippers, Pro-Tech/Spyderco/Benchmade automatic knives, etc.
Sometimes people act surprised and ask, "Whoa, is that a real knife?" I matter-of-factly reply, "Yes, that's a very real knife." Sometimes I show them how they can shave with it.

Duh! That's what the Ladybug Hawkbill is for. I can open and close it while maintaining eye contact on sales calls undiscovered! It's like a functional worry stone! Get one, they are badass and SO useful.
Re: That feeling when you're at work...
You obviously now have a mission.
Start converting a few of those co-workers to the addiction, like Liquid Cobra is doing. Certainly you have some "cute" Spydies you can use for bait. Once you convert a few, more will follow out of curiosity.
By this time next year you could have all the gals in your section flickin' Millies!
Feel the love........ :p :D

Re: That feeling when you're at work...
Where I work people would be surprised if I wasn't carrying a knife. Or several of them.

Re: That feeling when you're at work...
I work in an office setting and it has always been policy not to carry *weapons* at work. However, the key thing is how one defines what a "weapon* is. To that end, I've carried a vast number of my Spydies at work--even the larger models. I've never had an issue in ten years with carrying knIves on the job mainly because I exercise a great deal of descretion. :)
Kudos to all who have converted fellow co-workers into the Spyderco Addiction. :D I've successfully converted two (my boss and a therapist) but I'm also working on a few others. Takes time to reel them in...

I'm retired. When a few of us old salts get together over coffee, my Delica goes on the table. Whoever is holding it has the floor.

Ugh I know that feeling!! My old job I could have my knives and use them to open boxes and atuff. Now with this new job you can't have any knives and then they give us these horrible safety knives to cut packaging straps with. Have to sit there sawing at them. Makes me want my spydies even more!

And here I thought you were going to say that whoever is holding the Delica has to buy the coffee! :DMichaelScott wrote:I'm retired. When a few of us old salts get together over coffee, my Delica goes on the table. Whoever is holding it has the floor.
