It's been fairly quiet today, so I thought I would share this true to life 
story.

We often forward our offsite records on to staff in boxes so that they can 
be kept together and chance of loosing them diminishes.  Our records group 
had forwarded records onto one of our departments a couple of years ago 
for review.  They were put aside until "time permitted".  Last year we 
inquired as to how they were doing.  "Oh, we gave them back to you" was 
their response.  As our records group handles many boxes, we searched high 
and low for this box both in their department and ours.....to no avail. We 
contacted our offsite storage vendor to see if a box had mysteriously made 
it's way to them without a barcode.  They searched and found nothing.

Today, we got a call from the department that originally had the records. 
"We found them" they said sheepishly.  Apparently, someone needed the box 
and for the past year and half, it has been used as a footrest. Duhhhhh!!!

Now I know why I've lost my hair through the years.
