Katz got practically no sleep because the air conditioner "shimmies" and keeps him awake. He asks Ben to fix it. Then, at work, Katz realizes he's forgotten his day planner and asks Ben to find it. Ben, naturally, is lazy about the whole thing, but he tells Laura, "When I start a job, I don't stop until I fail." He succeeds in fixing the shimmying air conditioner, but can't find the day planner. Katz laments the loss with Julie and Stan, as the planner contained a wealth of information, ("You didn't talk about the thing in Jersey....?" Stan asks cautiously), including the first two chapters of a new self-help book (his last one was called "How to Hurt Your Own Feelings"). Finally, Ben remembers having seen the day planner at some point in the day, and they re-trace his steps ("That shouldn't be hard. I didn't take a lot of steps"). Turns out Ben wedged the day planner under the air conditioner to make it stop shimmying. "We've all wedged something in between something without realizing what it was," says Katz.
