My wallet has gone missing, along with nearly £300 (about $600) contained within it's black leathery frame.

While that sucks enough, add another £30 for a replacement Driving Licence, and a furthur £25 for a replacement National Insurance card...oh, and £5.50 for a new Natwest cash card.

Basically, this is a bit of a vent, and I'm wondering if anyone else wants to vent about what sucks in their life right now.

Or is that shamelessly egotistic?

I don't need to post what I think.

I've been half-paid for the last two months on account of shocking incompetence somewhere in the system that works out my wages (as a teacher, it goes through a few levels of bureaucracy). As a result, I am teetering on the edge of a financial crisis of the "Eat once every few days" kind.

There's a good chance I may be vanishing from your screens soon, because laptops still get good money at the local pawn shop.

Dude...that sucks. I keep hearing about the messups with teaching staff. Half my old university's lecturers went on strike towards the end of my final year.


Also, I've changed the title of the topic, as I feel a collective display of miserableness is better than scattered individual ones

I've had my wallet stolen before, but that was half due to me being an idiot and leaving it in the change-room unattended. Wasn't too bad though since I didn't have any cards at that age.

I haven't lost any significant cash, but back in October I did lose a whole bunch of information including my social insurance number, original birth cirtificate, and various other personal documents that could very easily be used to steal my identity. Essentially everything except my bank card and passport (thank god for that at least). I still don't know who has it or what kind of terrible surprizes await me in the future as a result of that \o/

Serves you right Roo.

I suppose that probably means you won't be commissioning me like you were thinking about now.

well, this makes me feel better about being able to buy concert tickets off ebay for three times what they would have cost, if i wasnt at work while it was being sold out.

that sucks like lite beer

In tenth grade, I lost two wallets. They didn't have much money, but in the same year, I lost a TI-83 calculator, a winter coat with a hat and gloves in the pockets (stupid bent locker door), and a pair of dress shoes (who takes those, anyway?).

It would be worse if you were a female and put everything in a purse and that purse got stolen. Also you could be dead, or have a terrible disease, or amnesia; the worst would be an imminent death of a disease that you forgot about because you have amnesia... Just thought I would put it in perspective.

Also you could be Fred Durst.

No need to vent right now. Got all my venting out of my system on Friday. Well I guess I could vent about you venting but...my time is short.

I'm broken and incabable of love.
