Grrrrarrrgghhh

If something is missing and it is not in my office does this mean I lost it? or after the smallest amount of investigation discovers, that the missing object had never actually made it as far as my office and as such, can not be in my office? did I still lose it? it depends on who lost it.

Some how no matter how much whatever it is still in your office, it is still possible that I lost it. For example, the file that just came into my office today, for something that happened in September. In October, it went missing and it was my fault. Oddly, in March it surfaces and nobody apologizes to me for making me feel like crap in October because someone else still had it. I didn't have it, thus, I lost it. Grrrrrarrrggghhh.
