I found this post-it note on the sidewalk next to the playground at the Aidan Montessori School in Woodley Park, Washington, DC. I imagine the note is related to a classroom activity where letters are converted to piano notes, and maybe a student passed this note to a friend when they realized that their name is pretty when translated into piano notes.

I found this Post-It Monday morning, bright and early, in my desk drawer, when I came into work and was arranging my things for the week. It was on a Post-It pad, as if the brainstormer calmly scribbled it and just hid it there upon discovery. (Or so I like to imagine)
I’ve worked as an assistant in this home office for 3 years, but though I’ve found some odd things in my time — unexplainable tchotchkes, questionable knickknacks, books with titles that make me raise an eyebrow (It’s kind of an eccentric place) — I’ve never found something like this in my space.

This note was folded in neat little quarters, with “To: Eric” written on the outside front and back. Even with the careful labeling, it got lost in a Metro station. She sounds so wistful … hope she and Eric had time for more than just texts!

Recently, at the bar where I work, a girl locked herself in the bathroom and promptly passed out. After ultimately breaking the door down, the girl’s friends took her home; it was not until we closed that we found this note. Apparently the girl’s friend thought she just needed the promise of Bananas Foster to wake her up.

Found on the sidewalk in front of the Capital Grille, about a block from the Library of Congress, two blocks from the US Capitol. Is that the Capitol Building on the left there, or a spaceship? And are those airplanes fleeing? Attacking? Or just ignoring? And what is that bad bunny hiding behind? Not to mention holding in his bad bunny paws?
