The Magnetic Paper Weight Looks Like He Could Use a Day off

The magnetic paper weight expresses the annoyance people sometimes feel when they're stuck at their desks all day.
This little guy is known as 'desktop madness' and it's evident by his pose that he's fed up. Although he looks ready to give up, with his hands thrown up in the air, he's actually an extremely useful accessory. If your someone who's constantly dealing with a lot of paperwork and need some organization, he sits on the stack to prevent documents from getting mixed up with everything else. Also, when at work, not having paperclips handy is one of the most aggravating things. This little man is magnetic, and comes with magnetic paper clips so you'll always have some readily available
The paper weight would also be a great gift for a student, as they're always in need of paperclips and exams and essays can cause them to look just like the figure himself.
