free range

on my way out of the office today, i noticed a man smoking on a bench. i wish there was something in my life even half as enjoyable and rewarding as that cigarette appeared to be.

take me

my cd shelf sucks, so at about 5:20, i put it outside by the sidewalk with a piece of paper with TAKE ME written on it. at about 5:45 i left for my guitar lesson, and it was still there. but when i got back from my lesson, around 7:10, it was gone. success.

another thing that was gone was all of my money from my wallet. i didn't find this out until i tried to pay my guitar teacher. it was quite embarrassing, but he had no problem with me paying him next week.

but where did my money go? i had a bunch at lunch time, did i take it out of my wallet while i was cooking dinner? this didn't make much sense to me, but neither did the alternate scenario of a pickpocket on the T considerate enough to leave me my credit cards and IDs.

well it turns out my grandboss thought it would be funny to steal take my money. she claims i was watching her do this, but i have no recollection of this event, and it seems like the sort of thing i'd pick up on.

this is even after the last time she was here, when i risked stress fractures in both shins trying to return her wallet to her before she got into a taxi going to the airport. the kindness of strangers, indeed.

sounds like it's time to elevate this.
