Missing tool of the day rant

[JimmyTheMonkey]

Had to move last month for a new job. Set my cell phone down, turned around, and it was gone. I kept saying, "It should be RIGHT HERE!! RIGHT WHERE I'M POINTING, BY MY DESK!" Was pissed that the day before the move I had to lose it. Went to Verizon store, bought a used iPhone (I use a Motorola Razr) got home, found it the next morning when my alarm went off.

It grew legs and crawled INTO and UNDER an open ream of printer paper that was still in the plastic, but cut open. And I lifted the damn thing 5 times looking for the phone, I just didn't look UNDERNEATH the ream when I lifted it up. Gave the phone to my wife, now all is good.

Next time just call the phone!

I've bought maybe a dozen tape measures and I have 2. I'll find one at some point and get all excited. Open the drawer to put it away and I still only have 2.


i have a tape in every room of the house. still can't find one when i need it.

a few years ago i lost a stinger flashlight on a service call. the customer went home back east and came back 6 months later. he dropped the light off at my work. i think he used it until it was dead and didn't know what kind of battery it was because i found it in backwards. i lost it again a few months ago. my magnet pocket screw drivers always stick to things and pull out my pocket. i get pissed when i can't find one after having it for six months. makes me cry. this week i lost my hat. i don't have much hair and i burn easy. my advisor found it two days later. i left it on a generator in a fifth wheel trailer after i installed it.
