Juanita tries very hard to run a green beauty salon.  She recycles whenever she can and has gone total solar power with her pocket calculator.

Thelma read about having a paperless office.  Thelma thinks that would be a good idea.  Mainly because Juanita couldn’t leave little Post-It notes all over the mirror at her station saying things like, “I hope you’re damn proud of your stinkin’ Texas Board of Education.”

Juanita contends, and I have to agree with her about this, that you cannot function well in life without zip-lock baggies and post-it notes.  And, the older you get, the more you have to depend on these things.

“On Monday mornings, there are generally 5 or 6 notes on the inside of my backdoor,” Juanita admits.  “I know that’s wasteful because the whole function of post it notes is that you throw them away once you get reminded of whatever you need reminding about.  They are also helpful in remembering to tell other people things they need to know.  Hence, all the notes on Thelma’s workstation.”

Thelma and Juanita once got into a post it note fight over a Supreme Court nominee and Jack’s Office Supplies and Pet Grooming Salon ran out of them.  Now, that’s a proper fight!

A paperless Juanita would be like a scissorless Juanita.  It ain’t gonna happen.

“They are as handy a stopper on a submarine,” she says.
