deird1My new work is very into freebies and almost-freebies.
In the month and a half that I've been working there, we've moved buildings, had a best-selling novel, and had... rain. Which means that I am now the proud owner of:
- a Penguin mug
- a Penguin notebook
- a canvas Penguin bag
- a huge Penguin umbrella
- a best-selling novel
...which cost me, in total, five dollars.
Five dollars. For the single item on that list that I paid for rather than having it foist upon me by enthusiastic freebie-givers.
By this time next year, I'm hoping for a full range of Penguin-themed sportswear.
