Once per month, I go out shopping to replace my office supplies.  The fact of the matter is that my business consumes paper, pens, and a couple of printer toners each month.  By having extras on hand I don’t need to interrupt my workday by making an emergency shopping trip to replace what I need.

Unfortunately for me, as I pulled up to the office supplies store I noticed something different - the store had shut down.  Reading the sign on the window, I guess they had gone bankrupt two weeks ago, liquidated their inventory, and shut the doors for good.

Thankfully, I have a small business directory in my car, so I looked through it to find the next closest office supplies store.  I picked up the supplies I needed including some other hardware products, and went home.  Though most of my day has been wasted, at least now I should be good for the next month.
