Headed off to the Post Office yesterday to send some stuff out. Now my PO has all of 2 pens chained to a counter and it's a given that one of them doesn't work so I always bring one with me. I head over to the rack and grab a mailing envelope and place the bounty inside and seal it. As I near the counter I see like 6 people waiting to use the single working pen so I snicker as I reach into my pocket for my trusty 79 cent Papermate only to find that it's not there!

Not having time to wait i bought one of those mailing markers and filled out the info, cursing whatever malady caused me to forget my pen. When i got home the phone rings, a friend of my wife. Needing to take a message I walk over to where I know I must have left the Papermate but of course it's not there.

I must bring home 10 pens a week but there never seems to be one when I need it. WTF! And while I'm ranting why does the only pencil with a point fall apart when I try to use it. It's like someone already busted it and stuck the point back into the pencil just to F with me.

Sigh...

...I need a smoke.

Lol, yeah I actually have two of each with me all of the time! A set in each pocket for balance.
