== Missing Ink ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, do you remember last week I mentioned that my ink had gone missing?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes, that's right. You were looking around the room.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It has not shown up.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Are you serious?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Nobody has seen it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I don't know where it's gone and I fear it's missing.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Have you taken apart your rucksacks?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And backpacks? Yep. And that's where I usually find them because I switch between bags sometimes and I'll find one, you know, months later in a backpack that I didn't ever transferred out. Oh, that really sucks.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's a certain someone very upset in the chat room right now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's like the, it's the a thousand emoji workflow sort of is hitting our chat room window right now. Mr. Dan. Dan.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Trust me, Dan. Nobody is, is more upset than I am about this because it's, you know, it was, it's the, the one with the, with the retro 51 refill. So it's my favorite of the two as well.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So it's the roller, roller version.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. So I've been using the fountain pen, uh, cause I have that in my, in my bag. So I've been using that when I've been out and about to try and make up for a little bit, but, um, I've picked up the Twisby 540 ROC again and that's sitting next to me as my show notes pen at the moment. So I thought I needed to try and do something to try and make me feel better. Cause I was using a retro 51 and it was kind of making me feel a little bit sad that I'd lost the ink. You know? Cause it was kind of just like reminding me that it's gone and I don't know where it is. It could still show up. Like I, I cannot work out. How it's gone missing because it doesn't leave my desk and I am like as sure as I can be that I didn't take it anywhere because my, my, my topo bag has pens in it always. So, and it has a, it has a retro 51 in there and it has the ink fountain pen in there. So I wouldn't have taken the ink with the retro 51 with me anywhere when I went away for the holidays. So I don't know where it's gone, man, but it's, it's, it's, it's making me sad. And I'm asking everyone in my family and everyone's like, no, no idea.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, um, you need to put that on Craigslist or put some signs up around the neighborhood or the coffee shop or something. Lost pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Have you seen this pen? And it looks just like this one, but the inverse reward. Yeah. Yeah. That's really sad. I'm really bummed out about it. I'm really bummed out about it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I can tell you're really bummed out and I'm getting more and more bummed out for you. So, uh, yeah, that stinks. I, I hate when that happens. It rarely happens to me. It's happened from time to time. Um, but not on something like, like I super love, like I know you, how much you love that pen and that just makes it really, really difficult. So that sucks. I feel for you, buddy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, uh, so it'll, it'll turn up in like a year and just some random place.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. I mean, I've been just like, look, I've just, I'm doing it now as well. Like I'm just looking around.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's like that lost dog. It's like, I'm pretty sure it's here somewhere.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Every time I think about it, I go crazy about it. Yeah. Now I'm like under the desk somewhere. Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I know when, if it, when it does show up, it's going to be like, Oh my God, it was under my keyboard. You know, that kind of thing. I've literally just picked up my keyboard to check, by the way.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Was it there?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, you would have known if it was, buddy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Man, that's terrible. I think we should, uh, uh, have it like a in memoriam at the end of this episode, play, like play a little song, little bagpipes, um, for your ink.
