Retrace your steps. That always works for me. And it's always in the last place you would think of.
It's also always the last place you look as well.
This so annoyed me when I realized that this was true, I now continue looking even after I've found the object, just to show nasty reality who's the boss round here. (It's me.)
Rant:
Yesterday, I hunted high and low for my car keys, turning things over with my right hand.
Then I realized I had been absent-mindedly holding the keys in my left hand all along.
I then went out.

Possible solutions: Glove, bleach, fire. They can be used in any combination.

And then shove the keyboard in the glove, or toss the glove onto the keyboard. Problem solved!

OK I have fire but no gloves or bleach.
There is a hand sanitizer dispenser I am going to use and then I'm going to wash my hands.
I just can't believe how freaking nasty these keyboards are. It's a good university too! My community college put more effort into cleaning keyboards in the labs than this. I'm shocked!
Edit:
On further reflection, I'm not that shocked considering how infrequently students here shower. Cleaning the keyboards is probably a rant all it's own.
Rant II: Kids here don't shower very often. I blame the lack of females (<20% of the population) for this. Guys have no hope whatsoever of getting a girlfriend, so why bother showering or brushing your teeth when you can play Halo and LARP on the quad?

Maybe you should bring your own keyboard? The computers there should have USB ports on the front of the case.

I hardly ever use these computers and I don't feel like lugging around a keyboard for the rare times I have time to sit and type in the lab. Good suggestion though.

I had one some 2 hours 45 minutes ago. I probably failed, and that may mean that I'll have to take the exam again next year. But as they say, alea iacta est: the die is cast.

No, don't fight it. Come to the fail side of the study.

I want the goal nets in football to be white. I also assume that this wouldn't cause a serious obstacle to ManCity moneywise even if implemented soon rather than later.

6pm just has Indiana and Kentucky, which are both solidly Romney states (though Indiana has an interesting Senate race which is worth having an eye on).
