DAY 1: MY FRIEND DROWNED

The last couple of days have been the worst days of my life! I mean, back to back to back.

*Day 1*
May 28, 2008

I lost my phone. Yea. My beautiful red Pearl... Left her in the bathroom at work & came back an hour or so later & she was gone. We share a building with a newspaper company so alot of people circulate the bathroom, ergo, anything could've happened.

I emailed the building management to let them know my situation. I then proceeded to the bathroom to look for it. Mind you this was like 5pm, an hour after I was supposed to be off work. I was so distraught I couldn't leave. lol.

I was actually tempted to dig in the trash but I couldn't bring myself to it. lol. I mean, I love my phone & all, but I dunno what people have & what they put in the trash so, yea, I'm good. As I walked out of the bathroom this younger cleaning lady (bout my age) passed by. I was like "Excuse me, did you find a phone in there?" *blank stare* "Did you find a red phone in there?" *blank stare* AWWWW MANNNNNN. Are you kidding me?! lol. Come on! No help at all today. I did the universal phone signal (pinky & thumb to my ear & mouth) & she was like "Oh, oh, telefono" and I said "Yes! Did you see one in there?" *blank stare* By that time my patience had left me (not for her, but period) so I just gave up & left.

Oh yea, did I mention that Actor was out of town? He went to Cali that morning. So here I am, gonna be home by myself until Sunday night, in a big ass house, in a new neighborhood where I don't know any of my neighbors, and no phone. Yea. Enough said.

So I'm driving, and I realize that I gotta freaking cancel my account cuz I don't wanna be responsible in case somebody did steal my phone. And I realize this while I'm merging onto the "pre-highway" as I call it. It (obviously) is a one way so I can't turn around. So I'm like, well, I'm not gonna merge onto the highway, just gonna take this local exit so I can turn around. So I fork left, and guess what? There was no turn around. Drove for like 4 miles before it even went to a local road. And then it was a one way so I couldn't go where I wanted to. So had to drive basically in a circle, in traffic, to get back to my job. Like an hour later.

I get back to work & my coworker said "Hey, you're working late today" "No, came back to call the phone company cuz I lost my phone" "Was that your blackberry in the toilet?" *insert my heart dropping here* "What?" "Yea, so & so said that she saw a blackberry in the toilet. She thought it was one of the magazine's people's phone." "Was it a red blackberry?" "Yea!" *insert knife here* All I could do was breathe out. lol. I couldn't even get mad. He asked me if it was still in there & I said no cuz I checked already. We went in there to double check but it was gone. By this time the trash bins have been emptied & replaced so... I just picked my feet up & dragged myself to my cube so I could call to cancel my account.

By the time I drove home it was 7:30 or 8pm. We've been on Dairy Queen's cheeseburgers for a minute so I'm like hey, I'll go get 2 for dinner. They have this thing where it's 2 for $2.22; best price ever for some greattt burgers. I get there & order, drive up to the window, and the guy says "4.20" (or some random change amount.) I was like "I'm sorry, did you get the 2 cheeseburgers?" "Yes, two cheeseburgers, no mustard. $4.20" I just coughed it up. It wasn't expensive, just like... man, out of all the days to change the price on me. Is anything gonna go my way today? Should've went to Burger King. lol.

I got home, ate a burger & fell asleep. Left the other burger out all night so had to throw it away. I'm really iffy on eating old leftovers or stuff that hasn't been properly stored.

The next day the building management called & said that the cleaning lady found my phone & was gonna bring it to work & to come get it in 30 minutes. 45 minutes later the manager called me back & said that the lady hasn't come with the phone yet so she'll just call me when she does. Hours later, still no word of my phone, so they had a meeting with the cleaning crew. Turns out the cleaning lady (whom doesn't speak much English) misunderstood what the manager asked her. Cuz she had found a phone in the men's bathroom but it wasn't mine. So... blah.

Ergo, my beautiful Pearl was taken from me. She drowned & I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. Her body was never recovered. *Moment of silence please*

I lost all of my contacts, calendar appointments, my 2gb memory card, alllll of my freaking pictures! Oh my God!!! Brando's baby pix, Kanye's concert pix that I was about to post on here, and random other priceless pix. Boo *insert pout here*

At least I posted some of Brando's baby pix on here so I can retrieve them. Everything else is gone.

Gone baby gone... Another movie that I have to see soon. (Yes I just completely changed the subject, but... take it!)

I shall talk about my 2nd day of misery in the next blog. Stay tuned.
