So it’s Sunday morning, and AGAIN I’m at work. It’s not a huge deal because after four weeks of these little four-hour shifts as a student worker I’ve learned to come prepared. Today, I felt like one of the kids as I hauled in my laptop, 500gb usb drive, and purse full of essentials (cell phone, iPods, sharpies). But, even with all my preparation, by 11am I was bored and looking for something to occupy my mind as I answered tech support questions. (Boredom + Laurel = trouble.) While I was speaking with a user who was working to create their first website ever… three hours before it I was due, I started pilfering (as my Grandma would say) around the lab station. The drawers labeled “Lost and Found” called to me, and I couldn’t help but open them. I’m not sure what I was expecting… a textbook, a pair of sunglasses, a scarf. Things people would forget about easily. However, what I found was nothing that I expected. Jackets, a pair of jeans, two cell phones, 15 sets of keys (9 that had auto door remotes), 9 usb flash drives, 2 wallets, headphones, bluetooth headsets, calculators, 8 student id cards, 6 pair of sunglasses, 3 pairs of reading glasses, and a passport. Wait, stop. Let it sink in. Someone’s United States of America Passport is chillin’ in the Lost and Found in the computer lab. How do you lose that in a computer lab??? Just in case you don’t believe, I’m including a picture. Wish I could wrap my brain around this one.
