I have gone through every drawer in my desk... all six of them... and only found four Advil. My director's administrative assistant used to have all kinds of OTC drugs stashed in her desk, but the person sitting at that desk has changed faces so many times in the last few months that I don't even know the incumbent. I am slowly spinning a pair of scissors and a letter opener on my desk... wondering if I should jam them in my eye sockets to make the pain go away.
