It seems as though someone from around these parts has sticky fingers. Yesterday, when I was getting ready to leave work I realized that my iPod was missing. This sucks for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which being it was my fucking iPod.
Here's my theory. You know how around this time of the year the pushy Greenpeace kids stand on street corners with their clipboards trying to talk to people about whales? Well, from what I've noticed a commonly used strategy to avoid these people, other then wearing your ivory buttoned mink coat with matching alligator skinned accessories, is to put your headphones and pretend that music makes you socially retarded. "I'm sorry I can't see or hear you right now, the Descendants are telling me how far they'd walk." I figure they've gotten fed up with that ploy and have begun stealing mp3 players as way circumventing the excuse. I'm on to you Greenpeace.
Alternatively, someone from work may have taken it while I was at lunch.
Stay tunned for the predictable "Oh, it was in my pocket the entire time" post.
