where the hell is the tape?!? [12/03/2006 18:26:49]

Any task that could possibly fixed with cheap, clear, tape is almost certainly trivial. It's a task that should take no more than a few seconds to complete.

In theory.

In practice, tasks involving tape take me about six million hours to complete because where the hell is the tape?!?

I'm a pretty organized person. I have a little organizer box with a million drawers on my desk. Each drawer has a little label like "screws" or "AA batteries" or "paperclips". I've got a big pencil holder full of pens, pencils, colored pencils, an exact-o knife, scissors, and so on. But the tape doesn't really fit anywhere, and so it's constantly disappearing on me.

As soon as I find it, I'm nailing that thing to the wall.
