marcicat*I FOUND THE PENS!
*Completely by accident!
*I did one of those 'virtual 5K' races, because my workplace was paying the registration fee, and the t-shirt looked nice. (It is!) And along with a t-shirt, I got a finisher's medal. And even though I don't particularly want a finisher's medal, I find it nearly impossible to throw them away right after receiving them.
*So I needed to pack it somewhere. And I thought to myself, 'somewhere in this apartment, there is a box that has a random assortment of finishers medals in it, and I definitely don't want to put in the effort it would take to find it.'
*Also, the medals have been in various places over the past few years. I couldn't entirely say what room they were in when I packed them, which makes things significantly more complicated re: packing boxes.
*But! At one point, the medals were in a small box in the hall closet, next to the small box that has stuff like lanyards and keychains in it. So I checked the easiest-to-check moving box that was in the hall closet.
*The box is labeled: "box w/ keychains, box w/ glasses cases, box w/ misc. empty containers, some misc. office supplies" (It is a box mostly full of other smaller boxes.)
*And it turns out "some misc. office supplies" means 'THIS IS WHERE YOU PUT ALL YOUR PENS AND THEN FORGOT THEM!'
*It was a very exciting moment of discovery.
*I put the medal in the box of lanyards.
*I did not add the word 'pens' to the box label.
*So it goes.
