<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I have a standing desk at work, but I also have a stool to sit on, and I put it under my desk to keep it out of the way when I'm not using it. While I was sitting on the stool, I kicked off my flip-flops, like I usually do. At some point I decided to stand up at my desk again and picked up my stool and set it underneath my desk. My office is pretty casual so I didn't think to put my shoes back on for quite awhile. When I went to put my shoes on again, I looked under my desk and didn't see them. After looking around the immediate area and not finding them, I had no choice but to ask my co-workers if they had seen my shoes. I thought maybe somebody had hid them as a prank while I was away from my desk. Within a few minutes, I had no less than five people helping me look for my damn flip-flops. I asked anyone who walked in if they had seen my shoes, but everyone said they hadn't. After looking in people's drawers, trash cans, and desks, I had pretty much given up and had resigned myself to the fact that I was just losing my mind. Then I pulled the stool out from under my desk and found my shoes, which were perfectly covered by the circular, hollow base of the stool.
<bot>: I accidentally set my desk chair on top of my shoes, perfectly hiding them, then proceeded to distract half the people in my office by helping me look for them.
