On my desk at the Beacon Journal is an old mug that contains pens and highlighters.The mug has sat on every desk I’ve had during my 30 years at the newspaper — probably six different desks.The same mug was on my desk during my first full-time job, at the Wooster Daily Record.During college, the mug was on the four different desks I had in the four dorm rooms I lived in.Before that, the mug sat in a place of honor on a bookshelf in the bedroom where I lived from age 5 to 18.Given my current employer, my attachment to this particular mug is ironic.
