Shopping for a Living

15 Oct

I shop for a living. It’s every girls dream. I purchase the promotional gifts (swag as some are inclined to call it) and corporate gifts (these tend to be nicer in quality).

Anyway, my job is alot of fun, but there is one occupational hazard – ACQUIRING JUNK!!!! I have so many companies sending me the latest and greatest stuff that my desk becomes a pile of junk. I clean it weekly and I can’t keep it tidy. Here’s a quick snapshot of what I accumulate in just one week…

Swag

Swag

  • Playing cards
  • 5 water bottles
  • Maglight
  • 2 USB Drives
  • Paperweight
  • Cuff Links
  • Puzzle Game
  • Pen

The law of diminishing value definitely applies here…the first USB drive was really exciting, but the 36th was just a hassle to find a spot or person to give it to. I guess it’s my cross to bare!

    Wait, as I wipe the tears from my eyes, because of the pain that you have from receiving free cool junk. O.K. it may be junk, but it’s free cool junk. Just kidding, you know, I think your great. Can you donate it to a church for distributing in other countries?
