Confusion no more! Richard has graciously demonstrated how to load the fancy copy room stapler which has left a number of us scratching our heads. Here are some step by step instructions:
1. Get the Bostitch B8 staples from the Journals/Microforms desk drawer (Make sure they are the B8 staples, as the regular ones won’t work.)
2. Mosey to the copy room and confront the empty stapler, letting it know who’s boss.
3. Pull out the black tab at the back of the stapler.
4. Drop the staples into the gap making sure that the sides of the staples fit into the grooves.
5. Push the black tab back in and test the stapler to make sure its working.
6. Saunter back to your desk, triumphant.
Any questions? Ask Richard, the stapler wrangler.

My apologies to whomever commented on this entry as the comment was accidentally deleted when I updated the entry. However, if it is about the Mosey vs. Saunter debate, then you will see from the edit that I have come down on the side of “saunter” when it comes to being triumphant.
Hey Tara:
The last person who tried to show a stapler who the boss was paid with his life (recent tazering of a man with a stapler at YVR).
