When I first started this job, I had a very important Linux book taken from the drawer of the cubicle I considered home base.
There were no keys to the locks on the cubicle drawers, and they weren't going to provide any.
Since then, I assumed I was working with thieves, and I never left anything valuable or important at work.
Except for one thing.
Most folks assume mousepads are a dime a dozen, but my Moody Gardens Aquarium mousepad means a lot to me.
Besides the nice, calming color pattern of the fish on it, my wife gave me that mousepad during a weekend in Galveston that was really nice.
I should have been locking that mousepad up in the drawer I've staked out as my lockbox at work (which they still don't want me to use), but I haven't been.
I'm back from the weekend, and the mousepad is missing.
Someone either stole it or threw it out.
Goddamned thieves.

You'd think that those poor saps that have to work in damn cubes wouldn't make it worse by stealing from our fellow cube rats. Hah! I can't even keep a pair of scissors, a blue pen, or even a pencil out in the open. In the last year, I've lost two staplers, a tape dispenser, a garbage can, a gazillion pens and pencils, a dozen or so mechanical pencils, hole punches, etc. I sure hope there's a special cube in hell for those thieving rat bastards.
