I second that.
My favorite "little" ruler is the Omnigrid 4 x 8 inch ruler with 1/8 inch markings.
Do you work in metric or inches?
There is another one out that is 8 1/2 x 24 1/2 inches by Creative Grids (TM) - that's supposed to be Non-Slip.
It does have more slip resistance than my other rulers. The only thing about it is, I need to really pay attention to the lines/markings because it's different than the other ones I have.
