Somebody keeps stealing my pens! When I first started work back at channel 13 one thing I quickly noticed was that I could never find a pen to write with. Someone would call with a score or something else and I had to find something to write with, but never could. When I first started working here no reporter had pens or any type of writing item on their desk. I have been here for 2 and a half years now and we have several new reporters. Many have followed the idea of not keeping any pens on their desk. In fact of the 17 desks in the Newsroom the only people with any writing utensils on their desk are as follows: Lindsay Shively- A metal bucket full of pens and pencils, Stephanie Ramos- A large cup full of pens, markers, and highlighters, Rae Chelle Davis- also a large cup of pens, markers, and highlighters, and Brian Quick- 3 pens just sitting by his keyboard; Thats it. Here's the point....Somebody keeps stealing my pens and I realize now that the reason nobody keeps pens on their desk is they always get stolen. I understand that now. I always carry two pens on my person and try to have as many as I can in the Kansas Sports cup I have on my desk. Lately though my pens have been stolen over and over again. I'm about to do a crime stoppers story just about my pens. It's so annoying everyday I get into work and the pens are gone. I have a large stash of pens so I refill the cup, but I mean really should I have to do that. At one point about 4 months ago I put a sign on my cup of pens that read "Adam's Pens If you Use return." Of course all I got was an empty cup of pens over the next few days, and someone writing something funny on my sign. Often I find my pens on others desk's I of course reclaim them as my own and the user always says they just found it somewhere...Right you just found it...Everyone is always just finding them. Leave my pens alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
