The worst day of my life...so far!!

As the title suggests, September 18th, 2008 was the worst day of my life and it certainly didn't help knowing that it was exactly a week before my..uh..nth b'day! I've had bad days and worse days, and before this, the day I considered the worst was the day when I laughed so hard that Sprite came out of my nose...seriously! So what happened on this day? Continue reading my woeful story....

It was a usual near-fall day with a pleasant 23 C temperature. I stepped out of my apartment at 9 to go to my internship site, and saw a client at 10. At 11:30am, I headed upstairs to the Human resources department to watch orientation tapes but was told that the person who was going to show it wasn't in that day and scheduled another time for it. What a bummer! So I went back to my office and asked my supervisor about the groups I would be able to observe for the day. I decided to go for the 1pm group and headed upstairs to the 4th floor.

I came back from groups at around 2 and was sitting in my office when one of the interns asked me if she could use the phones. I stepped out to give her some privacy and was standing right outside. I thought I should get my phone so I could access my emails and play for a bit while I got my office back. This is when everything went wrong and hazy! I searched for my phone inside my bag but it wasn't there. It's a black bag, so I searched for 5 minutes before realizing that both my phone and my wallet were missing!! TING TING TING TING

WHAT THE FUCKKKKK?? What will I do? How will I survive? Is this the end of the world? Did someone hide it from me? Did I search for it right? What the fuck is happening? I was shocked and unable to move. My supervisor next door was with a client and I didn't know what to do. So this intern tells me to ask one of the other staff members about this. I tell him I cannot find my wallet and phone and then he tells me what to do next, which is to cancel all my credit cards and my phone service. I spend half hour doing that and am still shaking, thinking about nothing but my phone. What happens next? Is my phone lost forever? How will I get my life back? I don't have a single dollar with me nor anything in my apartment, how will I buy shit?

This has never happened to me before....NEVER! I have been outside in Philadelphia, have left my purse hanging on my chair while I was sitting, but nothing, NOTHING like this has ever happened to me, and one fine day, in my own office, I leave my office door open and leave my stuff unattended for an hour and I get robbed? I know, it's Philadelphia, I should've known better...BUT IN MY OWN FUCKING OFFICE???? Is nothing safe anymore?

So anyway, my credit card arrived the next day and I could get my SIM card and phone (thanks to my friends) after activating it, but my fucking bank where I have my checkings account pissed me off! I went there at 4pm the same day to ask them if they could give me a debit card on the spot and the fucking bitch at the information desk was the rudest person I've ever seen. She said, "No way, uh uh, it takes 5-7 days to get it from Pittsburgh, there's no way you can get it before the end of next week". HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO USE THE CARD FOR OTHER THINGS, Like buying phone (they only take plastic)?? I stormed out of the branch upset and on the verge of breaking down with anger!

Thanks to AMEX, I got my card the next day, within 24 hours of reporting, and used it to get my SIM card activated. I'm getting my life back on track but the thought of losing my phone is the worst feeling ever. It wasn't only a phone, it was my navigation system, my organizer, my alarm clock, my email client, my source of connecting to the outside world....basically my security blanket. Yes, it was fucking expensive...and unlocked..but the crackwhore who stole it probably traded it for 1 shot of heroin or a snort of crack.....fuck you, you fucking junkie!! I learnt a lot of things, but the most important lesson is that I'm never going to help a junkie, no matter what....they fucking bite the hand that feeds them...they're the scum of society...I don't know how you got to be that way, and I JUST DON'T CARE!! Damn you, MOFOs, damn you all!
