The case of the vanishing thnigs

Ten years with this office and I know for sure that there are three things that I should not leave lying around.

One, ballpen. I can safely leave a P1,000.00 bill on my table of several days, but not a pen of whatever kind, brand, or color. It’s going to disappear faster than I can say my brother’s  name. 
And his name is Vic.

Two, slippers. After a business trip to Japan many years ago, the boss declared that from thenceforth, no shoes will be allowed inside the comfort room. Call it the Japanese influence over my ChiFil boss but ever since that day, the office has bought perhaps more than a hundred slippers that the employees should use inside the comfort room. I think the Admin. Division bought more than a dozen pairs some three weeks back. This morning, there are only two pairs left. And somebody has yet to show up wearing slippers to the office.

Three, cup and saucer. Where did the cups and saucers in the OGM’s pantry go??? Luchie, the utility assigned at the OGM, bought several sets of them last year. The last time I checked (and that was this morning for my daily dose of caffeine), only one cup remains, proudly sitting in a corner of the cupboard and screaming to my face "I survived! I survived!". Yep, and I’m sure not for long.

Calling Sherlock Holmes.
