Long-running relationship with office supplies -- hahahaha! I have a single-hole punch, a table-type paper-cutter and a pair of huge shears, all inherited from my long-dead father. I regret having disposed of his typewriter some years ago -- reluctantly, and only because years had passed since I could find any replacement ribbons -- because now typewriters are collectors' items and the Internet has made it possible to find the one weirdo in North America who has begun producing typewriter ribbons again ... !

Yes. I, too, have a long-running relationship with office supplies. It's definitely a thing.
