    The things you lose on a client's site..

    ...besides your virginity with one of the cleaners.

    Started with a new client a couple of weeks ago and I've already lost something: a single black sock.

    Rode to work on the motorbike in the pouring rain, and my old boots were a bit leaky. Always carry a spare pair of socks in my bag to change out of the wet ones when I get on site. Of course, I get home later only to realise one of my socks is missing. Go back to the the Gents the following day to look for my lost sock but it's not there.

    Not really sure if I can wander up to the very posh reception in a top City financial house and ask them if anyone has handed-in a single - very damp - black men's sock (M&S brand, I think.) As I don't have my name on my socks, I wouldn't be able to provide any further identifying marks.

    I'm hoping that replacements turn up via the thoughtless Christmas presents from older family members charade next week.

    Anyway, if you find it, please feel free to donate it to a charity of your choice this Christmas.

    Did you check the bins?

    I occasionally lose a sock at the swimming pool but I´ve learnt that it will be in the bin, so I always get it back.
    I'm alright Jack

              Although I did have a sticky fingered cleaner at one client and lost my sunglasses and a wireless mouse as a result...

                A really nice coat that was about 6 years old so worth nothing to anyone else except me <grrr>. Went to the coat rack one day to pick it up after work and it had "disappeared"
