Mysterious Dustings

Though I'm usually engaged at a non-stop pace at my job, I often take the time to stare blankly into my desk. I probably adjust half of the items on my desk daily, moving them by an inch or so, making sure they'll look funny to me tomorrow and ensuring that I'll be prompted to adjust them again.

Anyways, the longer I've worked at my job and stared at my desk, the more I've noticed that there is a constant melange of small, fuzzy specks on my workspace. Who knows where they come from, but, more worrying, no matter how many times I wipe my desk, these fuzzies keep reappearing.

It's probably a harbinger of the coming apocalypse or some major event that will make perfect sense once it's all over and done with. Only then will someone tell me that the top warning sign of planet-sized asteroids heading for Earth is the unstoppable accumulation of dust and fibers on my desk. If only I'd known.

Too Late?

What if it's a lifestyle issue? Is this some air pollution/obscure dandruff problem? Maybe I'm naturally polarized, attracting negatively charged cloth particles from around the room. I think Mr. Wizard talked about that once.
