I just got an SOS text from my daughter- she was setting up her work desk in her new cubicle, in her career. Along with the thrill of the new job, she needed to quickly assemble a workable space where she didn’t have to search or borrow.
I never considered the necessary supplies one might need for a cubicle- it seems so automatic to me. Let me share the list I compiled, along with my new favorite pens. I must admit I have a weakness for particular writing instruments.
Here we go:
pens (My new favorite: pilot friXion erasable gel pen- get black, red and blue set. These Pilot Frixion Point gel pens are super- extra fine points are my go, too. Let them dry a bit after writing and they are erasable- too cool. Available at Staples and Amazon.)
pencil, small sharpener, eraser
highlighter
white out tape runner
paper- white ruled pads are good. just get letter size
pushpins/ thumbtacks
variety of bull clips
planner/calendar on wall, or desk
post its
scotch tape
scissors
ruler 12 inch is fine, just good to have a straight edge
rubber bands
paper clips
Sharpies, 1 black fine point, 1 black extra fine point
Adhesive file folder labels- to recycle/ reuse those once and done manilla files
P- touch labeler, some folks swear by it, if writing is illegible
pencil cup if you do not have a drawer to lock in
And with the mandatory file drawers, you will need:
file folders – look and see size in file cabinet letter or legal-get plain manilla ones- will use many
command hooks for your cubicle, depends upon wall material
pendaflex to hang your file folders
small white board to hang, markers, eraser
desk sorter
