Every really nice pen I have ever owned was because it somehow fell into my possession. I use them randomly sometimes as a special treat for myself. (lemmy.world)

Ya'll jealous of my black 08 prismacolor fine line marker and pilot precise v7 rt.

Okay what the fuck is that last one? Why does it sound like a sports car marketed to males 14-26?

I'm trying to remember when the last time was I used a pen. I think the contract I signed when I switched heath insurance a couple of years ago.

Sounds like a pretty significant moment then!

Jk but what do you do for work that you literally never need to use a pen or pencil? If you don't mind sharing I mean.

I work as a Programmer, so my laptop usually isn't far away when I need to take notes.

It's really just contract signitures and maybe the rare form, though almost anything can be done online these days.

Not just pens. Paperwork in general is fortunatly becoming obsolete. I haven't recieved anything important by physical mail in months and almost all invoices are now digitial.

Wow I'm a programmer too, and I can't imagine getting through an entire day without my notebook. It's how I organise my thoughts in the morning, and stay on task. It's also a really nice break from the screens every now and then

Yeah, digital task management or note taking has never worked well for me. It's best if I write things down, then fill out Jira or whatever

Ok see that was one of my first guesses but I personally would still need to write notes at least for myself, plus doodling lol, so I ruled out any office jobs.

Clearly I was wrong haha
