So, speaking of worthless objects, the other day I actually bought one of those Easy buttons that they’re selling at Staples. You push it, and it says, in a Grossinator-type voice, “That was easy!” My abbreviated review: It’s remarkably loud and annoying, particularly for an office setting. It might be best not to take it into that ensuing meeting with HR.
