I took a vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday (taking full advantage of the 3-day week and the following week which was originally slated for a trip to Europe that fell through) - making my time off a stay-cation. When I returned to my office I almost immediately noticed that the whole (and nearly full) spool of Scotch tape was missing from my tape dispenser. It was puzzling, but with these hard times - even working at a fairly lucrative "Hollywood" studio is not without its scattered cutbacks. My co-worker requested a small (and manual) pencil sharpener and was given a plastic Bic engineer's pencil and told to reorder the leads every 6months.
Anyway.. luckily I had stored an extra tape spool (in the pre-recession Bush era) in my desk drawer and I replaced the tape. When I moved into my current cubicle, my predecessor left behind packets of various herb teas and a spool of yellow florescent scotch tape (second from the left below). Having no real use for it - I hung it decoratively by a push pin on my bulletin board.
Any theories?

One of the biggest piss-offs in my life is when I can't find scotch tape (or duct tape) when I need it.
You gotta start a super-secret stash.
Instead of a hamburglar, there is a tape burglar! oh no!!!!
A trip to Europe fell through? (sadface)
I confess: it was me, the tape-thief! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
