I'm a Pilot G2 guy, has to be black, and extra fine.
Use a Pilot G2 in red, in fine, to note orders, 12hr chart checks.
And Ticonderoga #2s with eraser for the chemo MARs, our erasers are gone fairly quickly by erasing administration times, so we have eraser blocks too. Hand crank sharpeners, old school.
And a Curaplex EMP disposable pen light with pupil gauges. I am approaching pocket protector status.BrandonQuad Cities

Speaking of pens - here's a "pin pen" I made my for 90 year old neighbor. His family built a post and beam barn in IN in the early 1800's. It stood until a devastating fire in 1994 in which most of it burn up, though some parts were saved. He had it torn down and gave me several of the salvaged hand hewn walnut beams and the pins that held it together. I have made some things for him, but the simplest was the "pin pen". Just the same you would have thought I gave the man a thousand dollars - he was that appreciative!

Pentel P207. That is the perfect pencil. I much prefer the .7mm to the .5mm in the P205 ..... yes, its sad I know the model number of my preferred pencil, but not my anniversary.

There's two of us; board, t-square and triangles.

Until a year ago whatever pens they supplied at work. Once I worked in final Plans, you can think of it as project audit, for 3 months. We were each assigned a color to use for initializing and filling out the checklists. Being the last brought in on it I ended up assigned pink ink. As a retiree I use gel type pens but I never use a pink one. On the last multipack I bought I am currently using the orange one to fill out the New York Times crossword puzzles, I can't remember where I laid the green one down.

Oh and on top of that I still have my two ended mechanical - one end is red and the other is blue. These were required pencils for us auditors when I hired in at Price Waterhouse back in 1966. I still have a lifetime supply of red and blue leads! Tick marks could ONLY be in those two colors!Botch said:Still have both of mine, too; one with 2H and one with 4H leads.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time! -
