Cancel the whoo and pack away the hoo...

[byslantedlight]

...my wallet has sodding well been lost and/or stolen - and really the latter cos I know exactly almost to the second when it must have gone, and the petrol station says there's no sign of it, and there was a car right behind me waiting which can't really have failed to see me drop it, and they didn't hand it in...and... and...

So just many many bad words, and cancelled banks cards, and I'd just drawn out £50 - fifty whole pounds - and had loads of stamps in there, and... and... my driver's license, and all my store cards and bookshop cards which effectively had money on them, and... oh, just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

And the worst thing is that I really can't think it's been anything but stolen (granted from my own carelessness - and I'm usually so careful of it...) because there's just no where else in between the moment of paying for petrol/tucking it under arm when I put petrol cap back on and my realising it was gone that it could have been - and no way else that it wouldn't have been handed in already when someone found it...

So now it's all that horrible sick feeling when you know that a) you've done something stupid, and b) someone has proven yet again that human beings are selfish nasty creatures from under rocks.

And I still have all that work to do. Just... waaaaaah (and sorry for the whinge, but... waaaaaah...) That'll teach me. I'd told myself that of course I could spare 3 hours out of about 16 to not work and to go and see The Mocking Jay with a friend, and if only I hadn't done that and hadn't stopped for petrol, and hadn't... you know, been born... *sighs and sobs a bit more*

/whinge, honest, but... just one more waaah....

Remind me that there's anything good in the world...?

Attempted list of good things in world
- going to cinema with a friend
- getting my passport back (and it being too big to fit into my wallet...)
- erm...

I actually did try to contact the police to report it, just in case - but it turns out that the local station is closed at this time of a Saturday, and when I tried to find a phone number you just get 101 for non-urgent, and when you try to call that Skype thinks its an emergency number (cos Skype is that smart...) and won't let you do it, and when you go outside into the rain and dark to get a signal and call on your mobile, and choose "lost property" from the menu it just tells you to go to the outsourced website to report it online there, and when I tried that before phoning you have to tick a thing that says it was definitely lost and not stolen, and it was lost first, and in theory I suppose that means that it's finders-keepers unless I make a claim on it which I can't do if it's been nicked after being lost, but... but what I wanted to do then was ask the local police for advice about reporting it (cos of my driver's licence, at least), only the phone menu says they don't deal with lost property so presumably they'd... oh, I don't know! What I really just want to be able to do is phone the local station and ask them what I need to do - but I effectively can't do that until Monday! Ack!

But there's a little bit of me that's hoping someone nice and decent like you picked it up and thought exactly what you did, and that I'll at least get all my cards and stamps and things back... so yeah, crossing my fingers for a nice surprise!
