Day #19 - Ruler Roulette

I found myself at the office well before eight and noticed my metal ruler on my desk. This prompted me to remember that Hua-yu had bothered my other ruler a month or so ago. So, I took my ruler in hand and headed down the hall to do something with rulers.

I got there and at first didn't see any rulers. I hadn't checked the schedule, so I didn't realize Hua-yu was in late that morning and so I was feeling pressure that she might show up. Then, I spotted the ruler I had lent her:




Notice that this ruler is a thing of beauty. Now you're impressed I lent it to her, aren't ya?

I swapped the metal one out for the same location.



Then I looked around because I knew she had other rulers because she was using mine as a third when she borrowed it. I found the other two and so I took them for good measure.

I decided that scattering things around had worked well before, so I set off to drop the first ruler in Helper Elf Number three's office. While I was in the process of taking a picture of it on her desk, she walked in and after recovering from the startle my presence in her dark office gave her insisted that we step up the game slightly and not just leave the rulers lying on desks. So all three rulers were taped at different offices:











It was late afternoon when she noticed the metal ruler and then pretty quickly realized all her rulers were missing. She found them all, but the downside is I'm out my metal ruler!
