I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not to purchase a Fisher Space Pen. Yeah, it’s only $20, but as a rule I hate writing with ballpoint pens! They seem to stick and glob and generally upset my delicate sensibilities!

But the Space Pen has received rave reviews and I’ve been tempted to purchase one, “just to see.”

Today we had an all-hands “company coffee” to discuss the general state-of-affairs of the company. During this meeting I spied someone using what looked to be a Bullet. After the meeting I ambled over and asked if it was indeed a Space pen.

He said it was, and it was one of the best pens he’s ever used. He said he started carrying it about 2 years ago because it was small enough to put in his pocket and forget about. I asked to borrow it to see how it wrote and - for a ballpoint pen - it wrote beautifully!

Now I’m on a mission to get one for myself! I may become a born-again-ballpoint-believer after all.
