The Return of Stitch

I have a coffee cup at work that I use about once a week for oatmeal. This isn't that unusual when you realize that:

1. I don't drink coffee.
   
2. It holds about 20 oz of fluid, so I can actually use it to make oatmeal without it overflowing.
   
3. Any other container of similar size in the kitchen at work is not something I want to routinely microwave things in.

Anyway, it was a gift from hislittlekitty so it has some sentimental value. ( Also, it has a picture of Stitch on it... )

It's been missing for two weeks now, so someone's been using it. Normally this wouldn't concern me (I have no problem with people borrowing it), except it's the only coffee cup in the cupboard that suits my needs and it hasn't made it's way back. I sent an email out to the whole office this morning:

JGC: I’m missing my giant Stitch coffee cup that normally lives with the other coffee cups in the kitchen. If you’ve seen it, let me know.

I included the above picture with it since a significant number of my coworkers probably haven't a clue who Stitch is.

I get back two replies, both from our IT department:

IT Guy #1: I think I saw it beside your SpongeBob Squarepants backpack; did you check there?

IT Guy #2: Long weekend, he obviously went surfing.

It's nice to see that our IT department is working hard!

Good news in the end, my cup was anonymously returned to the dishwasher.
