Gah, This Sucks

While going from the Blue Line to the Green Line train today, I checked to make sure I had my ID holder which contains my monthly train pass, business card, and access keys to the building.

Before I approached the escalator I glanced down and yep, the ID holder was there. I tugged on it to make sure anyhow and I was safe just in case the MTA cops decided to hit me up for it.

But when I got to work, I reached for it to wave it at the access pad and *DUM DUM DUMMMM* it was gone.

Oh, rat farts.

I decided to trace my steps back to the train station to see if maybe, just maybe, it would be sitting somewhere just waiting for me to find it. But no such luck. My ID holder was gone, daddy, gone.

So now, unless through some miracle it happens to materialize, I have to pay $15 for a new access key and another $15 for the parking pass. (For the time being I was issued a temporary key.) I’m not too concerned about the parking pass since, well, I take the train to work. But there are times when I feel like driving or want to go for lunch somewhere the train can’t take me.

As for the pass, I think I’ll take a loss on it. April is almost up so I’ll only end up using it tomorrow, Friday and Monday. No big deal. But suffice it to say, if my ID holder is found, I’m guessing that any of the following will happen:

— The finder will take the pass and throw the keys away
— The finder will call me after they remove the pass
— The finder will not bother to call me at all

I even posted an ad on L.A.’s Craig’s List. Who knows.

(Update 04-27-07: I have since deleted the ad because I was getting nothing but bogus Friends requests for MySpace. My e-mail on record at MySpace isn’t the one posted on Craig’s List and none of this began until I posted the ad, so there you go. Sorry, cAmGurL wiTh HotTT B0oBieZ LooKIng 4 biG DudE. And as of this post, my ID holder has yet to be found.)

Oh, and my recent absence from posting was due to a really, really bad sinus headache. I swear, it felt like my eyes were going to explode and my temples were in an ever-tightening wrench. My head’s still a bit light but I’ll make it. This ill feeling also hindered my diet progress so things aren’t where I’d like them to be right now, but that’ll change soon.

And behold, Tipsy Fox:

This was taken in Fillmore, CA on Saturday. I swore to Ann last year that I would get a picture of it this year. I did not let myself down.
