So it looks as though, maybe, maybe, my cleaning lady stole my new bus pass. I will make a concerted effort to look for it tonight, because I would very much like to be mistaken about this, but I left it in plain view on my kitchen table, and now it is no longer there. This sort of accusation, once made, cannot be retracted, so I'm going to make damned sure it didn't get tidied away by accident.

This is NOT good news. Either way, I'm out an extra $70 which I can't really afford right now. It won't break me, but let's just say the timing ain't great. :P


In other news, I am weirdly discontented right now. Part of this is due to still being hellishly overtired. I feel like I could sleep for another week (or maybe two). This is partly my fault for not disciplining myself to go to bed earlier last week, and a little bit due to jetlag (one hour's difference does take its toll, weirdly enough).

It's also because I'm considering making a Big Life Decision™, and it's unsettling me. I'm going to remain coy about this one, folks, because I have NO idea if it's going to work or not. It's going to take a heck of a lot of planning, and a whole lot of turning my life upside-down if it does end up working out. It'll be at least nine or ten months before I'll even be able to tell if it's going to work. Still, the wheels are in motion, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

What would totally simplify my life would be to win the lottery tonight (or tomorrow, I'm not fussy), and retire with my millions. Yes. Of course, I'd actually have to buy tickets for that to be remotely feasible...

I think the approach to take is, "I left my bus pass out on the table, and I assume you put it somewhere when you were tidying up - do you remember where?" Then see if she looks guilty.

Yeah, that's pretty much the plan if I don't find it myself tonight.

If you don't find your buspass, don't accuse her. Ask her if she put it somewhere.

Oh, yeah. I wasn't planning on saying: "Hey! You totally stole my bus pass!" My job requires that I be tactful, so I have a vague idea of how to frame things nicely. ;)

I have to call the company on Monday and say: "My bus pass appears to have gone missing since Wednesday, and I was wondering if [Name of Cleaning Lady] maybe tidied it away somewhere where I haven't thought to look."

*sigh*

This is very annoying.

Yeah, that's what I figured when I saw Joe's post (it appeared while I was typing mine).

LOL

Because, of course, only babies are a Big Life Decision™. :D

You're a darling.
