The best candidate is a sharp candidate
One of my co-workers in the newsroom always joked that a certain political candidate had her vote because he was known for dropping off tons of emery boards each time he made a run — and he made a lot of runs at office. We quickly filed them away in our desk drawers because accepting political gifts was and still is a big no-no, but a girl’s gotta look good, right? It soon became a habit for us to file our nails while talking on the phone - andwe talked a lot on the phone trying to set up interviews. To this day, I still keep a nail file on my desk and reach for it out of habit each time the phone rings. But I went through them rather quickly and each time I picked up a few at Walgreens, I would forget to pull them out of the plastic bag and inadvertently threw them away. It was only after reading this article in 
said they could be picked up at any card store counter. Imagine my surprise the next time I went in and saw it sitting right there. I grabbed one with a painted golf ball on the end (natch) and have filed away more quickly and efficiently ever since. And the best part is, it lasts forever and is easy to clean and costs only about $10. Good thing my co-worker and I have moved out of that candidate’s district. We wouldn’t need his freebies any more.
