Time to save the world…

Ok so here’s a little mystery for you all.

I come into work this morning, and there’s a little candy on my laptop.
(I use a laptop as my primary PC here, so the fact that it’s a laptop isn’t really relevant.)

A square candy, that I can only assume to be chocolate, wrapped in gold foil.

Over the foil is wrapped a lovely painting style picture of some unidentified harbor town.
Now this isn’t really all that big a deal.

Could have been some friendly co-worker leaving candy for everyone in part of some “Happy Monday” initiative.

(As much as I appreciate the thought; when will people learn that Mondays aren’t happy and that’s just the way God intended it?!)

Well here’s the thing.

Enchanted by this ornate little treat I picked it up to better inspect the picture.
Flipped it over and noticed some writing…

“PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL
AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO ™
A LOWES HOTEL”

Hmmmm…

No one that I know of just got back from a trip.

I suppose it’s possible that the mystery person has a tub of various hotel candies at home, saved for just such an occasion.

But I think that’s the least likely scenario.
It’s most probably a sign of some sort.
A clue to some international case of intrigue and danger.

A plea for help from some embattled government agent who can only complete their mission with my help perhaps.

Somehow… I have to get to Orlando to track this mystery down.

Here's what people are saying about this post:

Sounds like you planted it there, to give yourself, and everyone else and excuse to go on vacation. I bet you’ll find your answers on the Space Moutain ride at Disney.

We could check with Mickey and Pluto, I’m sure they know something.

So when are we leaving???

Nope… this is a legit mystery.

And although I MAY be able to clear it up by asking everyone here three questions:

1) Did you leave me a candy?

2) Did you get a candy?

3) Do you know who left me(or you) a candy?

I think the most PRUDENT course of action is to get to the Portofino Bay hotel with all speed.

There could be lives at stake.

… of course it could be trap.

Maybe we should check out space mountain first, just to be safe.

Recently, a mystery person taped up a picture of Brad Pitt (with his fabulous arms in his Troy uniform) in my cube. It was a great picture! I know that my obssession…er, i mean…fixation..um well let’s just call it a liking for Mr. Pitt is well known around the office, but I didn’t know who would tape up this picture. I asked the usual suspects who would do such a thing. To no avail, I never found out who the mystery person was?

I kinda like the intrigue though. Because now I can make it be this super cool mystery. If I knew who it was then it would all be over. No more pretending.
