Snusmumriken

I spend about three textmarkers a month. One yellow, one orange and one pink one. If I add and divide a bit, that amounts to 36 markers a year. And I throw them all away in the end.

Because I felt a bit bad about that, I headed down to the bookstore to buy one of the nifty marker refillers. I used to have one of those some years ago. You just dip your pen into the box, and after a few seconds it’s full of pink highlighter-goodness.

When I came to the bookstore, the shopkeeper looked at me as if was rather strange. Perhaps it was because I was standing next to a tray of highlighters that cost less than a dollar a piece, or perhaps because she hadn’t seen a nifty refiller before. They didn’t have neither a refiller, or an actual refill that you could insert into the old marker.

I’m disappointed. All my good promises are ruined like that.
