i lost my coffee

[xfer]

i came in, set my coffee down, unlocked the doors, turned on the lights and my computer, put my yogurts in the fridge, selected a peach yogurt, put it on my desk, looked round for my coffee...and couldn't find it.

wtf. i've gone through this entire office like 3x, and it's only 15x20. no one else has come in. i'm scared to move anything, like a chair, lest i knock it over onto the books sitting around waiting to be PRESERVED. gah.

 

[lizard]

did you put the coffee in the fridge with your yogurt?

 

[minxnim]

maybe it was the creamer snatcher, at it again.

 

[xfer]

i just checked the fridge...excellent idea, but no dice!

no, seriously, NO ONE has come into my office!

i need to find it before someone else finds it in an accidental and messy manner.

They probably just forgot to put it back. You know, those dudes that build every moment of the day. It was a Tales From the Dark Side or Twilight Zone or something.

 

[goatschool]

if there were a hotline to call concerning coffee-related abuse, i'd be on the fucking thing so fast. i'd never have moved so fast in my life. because this is an outrage.

 

[xfer]

tales from the darkside used to terrify me. not the actual tales, but the beginning, when everything gets all black and white and it's like THE DAAAHHHHK SIIIDE

 

[minxnim]

yea that scared me too
i think maybe you left it right by your desk and you're overlooking it.

 

[xfer]

oh well, if i don't find it, at least i'll avoid dirty feet/doritos breath.

 

[lizard]

since you mentioned The Dark Side...
maybe John Cafferty

and the Beaver Brown Band took it.

 

[xfer]

sorry to end this thread, but, um...

it's right on my desk.

 

[lizard]

hide in plain sight.

THE PURLOINED COFFEE

 

[avi]

I feel let down.

 

[lizard]

it is a bit anticlimactic. I was hoping you would find a coworker huddled in a janitorial closet, surreptitiously sipping the stolen cup of java.

 

[xfer]

i guess the most interesting result would've bene if my boss barged in, swinging the door into THE COFFEE WHICH WAS ON THE FLOOR BEHIND IT, sending it flying into a stack of rare Graham Greene letters.

 

[xfer]

well, "rare" meaning unique

 

[FrostGiant]

See, it actually wasn't there. Those dudes forgot to put it back. Then they noticed that they forgot and put it back later so it actually was missing for a little while. Am I the only one who saw that episode. It explains everything, especially why you can't find your keys.

 

[minxnim]

yea that scared me too
i think maybe you left it right by your desk and you're overlooking it.

i like being right.

 

[xfer]

see, the thing is, i KNEW it would be somewhere really obvious like my desk, so i put my hands on my hips and stared at my desk and methodically picked everything on it up and put it back down. still nothing.

then it showed up right there five minutes later. i either picked it up or i somehow reached AROUND it.
