The Dissolving Pens
~
Well, I was hoping that I could blog at least once in a week…

We have a saying here at work: You can leave anything on your table and it won’t get lost – your wallet, your mobile phone, a thousand peso bill, your jewelry - but never your pen. I don’t know how many pilot V5 sign pens I’ve lost ever since I came to this company. Good thing everything’s provided for by supplies.
The simplest explanation would be people just take the nearest pen within their reach when they need one and they forget to return them. The owner, after finding out that his/her pen has (again) mysteriously disappeared would just ask for another one from supplies. Here’s the thing, all of us here have the same experience and the company churns out a box of pens (about 30 V5’s) every month. Where the hell do those pens go? If the pens just keep going around changing its owners, aren’t we supposed to be swamped by pens scattered everywhere and in every corner by now? Do they just simply disintegrate into thin air?

would it help to carve your name on the pen? =D or just like in elem, bite on the cap. it'll probably gross them out, and leave your pen alone. =P

people here have tried everything... biting, name-tagging, labelling, nothing ever worked...
