Things got kinda hectic at work yesterday afternoon and there was a lot of running back and forth from my office to the printer across the hall. At one point, I had my reading glasses on. Now, I'm not sure why I decided that I needed to take them off before picking up the document I just printed out, but as I got just past my desk I stopped, took off my glasses, and tossed them on my desk. I turned to rush back out the door as they were landing on my desk and I heard it. I heard my lens pop out of the frame and fall... somewhere. My lenses don't fit perfectly into the frames, so that wasn't a big deal... I usually have to pop it back in once or twice a week. So I went and picked up my copy, then came back and searched the floor. Hands and knees. Nothing. I searched my desk. I shook out papers and folders. Nothing. I searched my clothes. Nothing. I searched my bag that sits behind my desk. Nothing. I searched the trash can. Nothing. I searched all those things once more. Still nothing. The files and folders sitting on the bookshelf three feet away. Nothing. The TOP of that bookshelf, six feet up. Nothing.

I have no idea how I did it, but I made my lens disappear into thin air.

So, today after work, I get to go downtown and pick out a new pair of reading glasses.
