Hey Cathe-ites,
I am a sporadic poster, but always enjoy reading the threads. Anyhow,I am in a bit of a bad situation. I was traveling from a conference on the East coast back to the West and suffering from sleep deprivation (excuses, excuses) and needed to take a taxi from the airport back to my apartment. Well, I get to my stop and asked the taxi driver for a receipt. He hands me a small piece of paper with spaces for writing how much cab cost, the date, driver, etc. but did not fill it out, and I certainly was not thinking to write it myself. Then I proceeded to exit the cab on the busy side of the street grabbing my shoulder purse, poster from the conference and a plastic bag, but somehow I managed to leave my computer bag complete with notebook computer, blackberry phone, new camera, a book and journal articles,oh and my Cathe kick-max cd! I walked half a block before I realized I did not have my bag, and I was ready to run after the cab, but it was gone, so I called the cab company as soon as I got to the office of my apartment building. Well, of course, since I didn't have the cab driver's name or cab number the guy told me unless someone responds to his message there is no way to track down the cab. It's going on 2 days and no sign of my things. I am pretty sure somewhere there is a happy finder taking pictures of himself as he does a Cathe cd! I hope he gets DOMS really bad!
I've posted an ad on craig's list in the lost and found and called my insurance and canceled my cell phone --which costs $200 to restart with a new phone and service! I am just sick about this. If you have any thoughts or ideas about what to do, please let me know!
I think I will go curl back up into the fetal position and suck my thumb now.
