March 5 - The Marker Fairies

Have you ever used a whiteboard marker, and then afterwards you could barely read what you'd written because the marker was so low on ink? If you're like most people, you probably just reached for a new marker and then put the one that was out of ink back on the ledge of the whiteboard instead of throwing it away. Why do we do that? We should just throw those empty markers away, right?
Well, that's what I used to think. But that was before I found out about the marker fairies. If you haven't heard of them, I wouldn't be surprised because they're pretty rare. But they exist!
Late at night, when nobody else is around, the teeny tiny marker fairies will come prancing into your classroom or boardroom or wherever and give your empty whiteboard markers a little extra juice--just enough to keep them going a little bit longer--before disappearing off into the night.
They're pretty similar to pen fairies, condiment fairies, and printer cartridge fairies. Exceedingly rare, all of them--but not nonexistant!
So hold on to all those old markers, pens, printer cartridges, and mustard jars you think have exhausted their use, because you never know when the fairies might come visit you!
But if you see them, don't try to capture them. They may be cute, but they will fuck your shit up.
