I have reached such a point. See, for the past two hours I've been using a pen that you twist to expose the nib (versus a capped pen or a clicky one). Now, that usually wouldn't be an issue, but it's a cheap freebie and as I write it slowly retracts and I have to stop and re-twist the pen every few sentences.
And yet, it's writing decently and not blobbing, and I'm too lazy to look for another pen. So I continue to get frustrated with the constant *stop, re-twist, write* *stop, re-twist, write* And yet, have I gotten up to get another pen yet? No.
Have I thrown this pen in the trash? No.
Am I likely to just keep writing with it? *sigh* yes.
