This morning, I discovered that an ear bud was missing from my handy set of headphones that go with my dictaphone microcassette transcriber (insert laughter here; I might as well be using a typewriter). I searched everywhere around my cube to no avail, which leads me to the conclusion that there's someone out there who either needed a replacement part, or who is harvesting small pieces of plastic and foam.

So, if you walk by my desk and see me with only one headphone in my ear, I promise I'm not trying to look like I'm practicing my DJing skills. If you see a lonely little earbud out there (or the Peppermint Patty that Oscar gave me that went missing), tell him I'm looking for him.
