marcicatSometimes, you realize that in an attempt at efficiency, you somehow packed every extra pen* in the apartment into a box, and you can't remember which one. (Surely, one of the ones labeled 'Desk'??? Maybe?)
(*I was going to say 'writing utensil,' but in a humorous and predictable twist, I actually know EXACTLY where the markers are. They're just not as helpful in this particular situation.)
In my defense, this strategy worked PERFECTLY until the kitchen pen stopped working. I scrounged a backup from what used to be my 'commuting to work bag,' but I think it's one of those free pens from a hotel seminar. ((Remember free pens? Remember hotel seminars? The free pens, at least, I miss.))
So now I am left with the choice between unpacking boxes in an attempt to locate the (many!) pens I'm sure exist somewhere in this apartment, or adding pens to my grocery store list. Since I'm not going to the store until tomorrow, I guess that gives me a day to decide.
((PS: It is now Day 3 of the 'will someone come to clean the sprinkler heads today or not' saga. So far, nothing.))
