So for those of you who have seen my desk, y'all know where the mousepad is, right? It's right beside the keyboard, nearly on the edge of the desk, in a spot where if you put ANYTHING in front of the mousepad (that is, between the mousepad and the person in the chair) you CANNOT REACH THE MOUSEPAD and even the keyboard becomes somewhat inaccessable.
A very few of you know that I've been looking for DAYS for the rest of the bottle of hydromet cough syrup.
I had been using the computer, including the mouse, about 15 minutes ago. I get up, go over to my box, get something out and bring it back to the computer, setting it down in front of the edge of the keyboard and the edge of the mousepad.
I turn around in my chair to talk to Cate, who is over by the hamster closet on the Not Actually A Chair, looking for something. I turn back to my desk. This is what I see:
FUCKING HOUSE GNOMES. I swear they do this to taunt us.
EDIT: Cate just found a bag containing money, garbage, and butane. WE DON'T KNOW. FUCKING HOUSE GNOMES.
