Just Like That

Fifteen minutes ago, I was sitting here making notes from Wikipedia on a little scrap of paper, leaning on a CD case that I rested on my knee. Just after I finished, I dropped the case and the notes. Somewhere between my knee and the ground, the notes completely disappeared. I have been on my hands and needs with a desk lamp scouring the are for those notes. I have looked under things and behind things and I have checked more pieces of paper than I would ever have thought possible without going crazy. I could have made those notes again about seven times by now if I'd wanted to. The fact is, I just need to know where that sodding bit of paper's gone. I refuse to be outwitted by a sliver of mulched tree.

I'll rip this Goddamn room apart if I have to.

Same thing happened to me with a pen in lecture theater C2 in the Renold Building. (Or was it C9?)

Something similar happened to me with a GameCube Controller adapter recently.
