I Hope My Twsbi Is On My Desk At Work

Hi all

I remember using my TWSBI late this afternoon, because I noticed how little ink was left and I allowed myself to begin thinking about which ink to load it with next.

 

As I stepped off the train this evening, I instinctively patted my jacket pocket, only to realise that the TWSBI was not sat snuggly alongside my Safari. Oh no! Where is it? Did I leave it on my desk? Or have I lost it?? Aaargh!

 

Problem is, I will need to wait until tomorrow morning to check whether I left it on my desk! This could be a long evening...it's by no mean my most expensive pen, but I hadn't realised how attached I'd become to it.

 

Any advice on how to keep myself distracted until 8.30am tomorrow morning, when - hopefully - the TWSBI will be sat waiting for me on my desk?

Boy, do I understand! I have been looking for my TWSBI for about three weeks and finally broke down and ordered another through ebay. I figure, when I eventually find the other one, I'll just put a different color ink in it and have a double-TWSBI choice for the day!.

About distraction...I haul out my fountain pens and empty most of them and rinse them out. It works for me....

Good luck! :thumbup: Let us know what happens....

My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.

I really feel for you, I lost my TWSBI recently.

 

I have lost hope of seeing it again.

 

I am waiting for the Vac-Filler before deciding which way to go. :(

 

I am glad that you found it though, that's one less missing.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
