  Do pens seem to hide from you?

You're on the phone & want to take down an important message or instructions on how to get to a location, but there isn't a pen in sight. Does this happen to you frequently?

Not pens, but so many other objects.

All the time! I have tons of pens infesting every clutter pile, but they all seem to scramble to uncharted nooks and crannies the second I say "Let me get a pen"!

No; I am way too organized for pens to have any hope of evading my grasp.

No, because I have a special pen/stationery box, forged out of a former container for a white fan heater I once bought, and which I still use. However, my favourite black Bic pens are still somewhat elusive, and I always seem to pick out one of those freebie blue ones. I really have to forage about for my faves...

I get pretty much equal amounts of admiration and mockery for the fact that I am so organized. Often both from the same person. Usually people think it's a little freakish that my desk is so clean, but then they're really happy when I volunteer to use my skills in a way that helps them out. Pens are only the tip of the organizational iceberg...

If I were, I would totally help you sort out all the stuff in your garage for a sale!
I have thought about being a professional organizer if academia doesn't work out.

When I walk and feed a dog, I have to make notes on their cards; did they pee, poop, eat, etc. I'm forever running down a pen to use. They seem to vanish into thin air. One of my coworkers mentioned that the other day, so I know I'm not the only one.
