Ode to Sticky Notes_WMV V9.mp4

Ah, the sticky note. Despite its simplicity, I think it’s one of the greatest inventions! That small yellow square is a staple in every office – whether home or business. Better yet, now it seems that you can get sticky notes in every shape, color and size imaginable. In fact, about a year ago I found the ultimate sticky note – a preformatted to-do list!

With my blank sheets dwindling, a replacement was definitely needed so I decided to make my own. I created a template and uploaded it to FedEx Office® Design & Print Center, but there are a variety of pre-made options there as well. You can access my template here and watch the video above for step-by-step instructions for uploading your design to the FedEx Office site!

It’s time again for our latest installment of “Coffee with the Bloggers” – a series of posts we started last month to let Out of Office readers know a little bit more about each of our bloggers. We’ll be answering questions like we would with friends over coffee…hence the title! And if you have a “Coffee with the Bloggers” question you’d like answered, just leave it in the comments section below!

Guest blogger Kayt Schaefer is a manager of program implementation with FedEx Office and has worked with the company for 16 years. Kayt and her husband are dedicated supporters of their local major league soccer team. In her spare time, Kayt also enjoys fly-fishing and, of course, researching her family history.

I was about seven years old when my Mom’s father passed away. As my Mom sorted through his belongings, she found boxes of family photos – many from the 1800s – and this set her on a 30-year journey to research our family history, ultimately publishing a book detailing our family history.

Each summer, I traveled with her as she conducted genealogical research. She interviewed family members and we spent endless hours together in libraries pouring over books and microfilm, in court houses rummaging through birth, marriage, census and estate records, as well as hiking through fields and up hills to transcribe cemetery data.

Our Out of Office blog has been around for about a year and a half now – time really flies! But in all that time (and all those posts!) we realize that we’ve never really gotten the chance to sit down and tell our readers a little more about ourselves. You know, like you would chat with new friends over coffee. So in our attempt to translate that “get to know you” experience to the digital world, this is the first in a mini-series of posts that will let you get to know us a bit better. And if you have a “Coffee with the Bloggers” question you’d like answered, just leave it in the comments section below! ...read more
