Near Heart attack !!
Ok, it is 12:39 and for the last half hour I..ve been freaking out. ..Why you ask?..
Well, I was sitting in the studio working on a floor plan that should have been completed 3 days ago, when the night security guard at the school popped her head in the door as I was about to get up and get some M&M..s from the overpriced sugar filled vending machine. The security guard asked if I was staying past 12:00pm and when I said ..probably, yes.. She replied ..then you..ll meet me at the desk to check in?..
..Yeah.. I said. And as I was looking for my school Id to check in at the desk, a sinking feeling swept through me as I realized that I had no earthly idea where it was. my thoughts raced, and my blood started pumping harder, I was unsure. That little envelope of plastic held not only my student Id, but my Drivers license, my bankcard, and a jewel discount card (which is insignificant, in comparison, but nevertheless a loss ) After searching through all of my books, bags and papers strewn about the table and searching the bathroom and walking down the hall, I went to the security desk and after seeing the long line of students waiting to check in for overnight access, I decided to let all of them get their security passes and then talk to the security guard about it. While this was going on, I told Margarite about it as we stood in the hall waiting, and the when the line dwindled down to one or two, I went over to the desk. When I got to the desk I asked if anyone had turned in my Id, because I..d lost it and after the security guard asked if I..d searched my things and I told her I had, several times, she said that she..d be on the look out for it and also ask housekeeping if they..d seen it , etc.. So I walked dejectedly back to the studio to tell Margarite and have her look out for it, she then told Sally and Ricky to look for it.. and I went back to my stuff to search, because there was no way I could work. I walked up and down the halls, searched my locker, the bathroom, again. And then I went and finally got my M&M..s, because I can..t think/work without food of some sort, be it sugar filled or no. After I did this I, searched the lounge area, because I..d been there earlier, and checked with the security guard on my way back to the studio. Upon my return to the studio I began searching my belongings again, taking everything out of my bags, and shaking open my books, when I sat down to look through my coat pockets and my hoodie, again I realized that there were two pockets I didn..t check! The two that were attached to my shirt, which was exactly where my Id was, right up against me, the entire time. What a dork I am! I suppose it might have something to do with the fact that I didn..t sleep longer than 4-5 hours the night before, and had to get up earlier than normal too. It just goes to show how insane and absentminded one can become, when one is sleep deprived and overwhelmed with work. Oh, and did I mention that I had to tell Margarite that I found it & where, and if that wasn't bad enough, I also had to inform the security guard what happened. Oh so embarrassing. I felt so sheepish. ahh, what am I going to do? I really need to go home, go to Nordaggios or Double Shot and stay there! I need good coffee, good music, good friends and amazing atmospheres.
