Today’s Would- Be Fiasco
About 10:30 this morning, I realized my wallet wasn’t in my pocket. Okay, this is bad, I mean driver’s license, credit cards, atm card, id cards are standard for wallets. Mine wasn’t much different. I always have my wallet, I don’t care if run outside with my shorts on and a wifebeater just to move my truck, I have my wallet with me if I feel like I’m going somewhere. Alright, stay calm, observe your surroundings…it probably just fell out of your pocket when you were sitting down, Lee. Nope, it’s not here. Retrace your steps. That’s what rational people do. Not here. Check in your truck, it probably fell out before you even got out of the truck. Nope, that didn’t turn up anything either.
Note to self: Vacuum your truck this weekend.
Alright, somebody probably picked it up, I’ll just put out a company wide alert that my wallet is missing, maybe a good Samaritan came across it. No responses. Well, life goes on, still have to work. Can’t…concentrate…without…wallet I figure I’ll check at my friends house, maybe I left it there; besides, I still have to get my books today. I leave @ 1:12. Scoop the books, head towards the crib, lamely parallel park (I’m quite nice with parallel parking in narrow spaces), rush inside with my books, find my wallet under a magazine, grab my food out the fridge and my Roots CD as I bounce. Back to work a half an hour later. Still have a half an hour left for my lunch break, which I’ll take later. Utterly relieved and slightly embarrassed, I shoot another company- wide email stating it was a false alarm. Some folks were nice enough to say they were relieved or happy for me. That was nice, so I emailed those folks back saying thank you. Hopefully I’ll have something else to put before the end of the day…
I’ll Holla!
