Back to Work

No matter how long it's been since you've been in school, when the leaves start to turn and fall clothes start to appear in your local mall, you can't help but think fondly back to the days of black & white composition books and newly sharpened No. 2 pencils; when no problem was so big it couldn't be cured by the "big" box of 64 crayons (with the built-in sharpener). Although you may have limited use for construction paper and paste in your typical day, embrace the back to school spirit to reenergize your 9–5. Take a look at the "grown-up" versions of your favorite school supplies.
