I only work half days on Mondays. So I leave to go down to my car, at noon, and I always put my car keys in the same pocket in my purse. But today no keys. Ok, I figure maybe I just dropped them into another part of my purse (I carry a huge purse) so I take everything out and pile it on top of my car. Still no keys. This is weird. Start thinking maybe I dropped them when I thought I put them in purse. So I go to security to ask if anyone has turned in keys. No keys. Am now completely baffled. Go back up to office to see if I pulled them out by mistake and left them on desk. No keys. Rempty purse completely this time (even took out all the pill bottles). No keys. Start talking out loud. Check my pockets - no keys. I know I can't have lost my keys but where the hell are they? Now my entire office (all 4 people are interested) One woman says Did you have a jacket? I go OMG I forgot I was wearing a jacket today. Today was the first day it was cold enough to need a jacket. Went to get jacket from storeroom where I'd hung it and sure enough the keys were in my pocket. LOL

It's a family joke about how bad I am about losing keys, but today was a new level of absentmindedness.
