So this is what i woke up to early one morning on my way to work. It was freezing cold out, and really early in the morning. Happy Holidays!!! December 22/09
Thanks to whomever decided this would be something fun and productive to do! I walked back into my house and sat down on my bed contemplating whether i should go back to bed or figure out how to get to work. So i made a few calls to no avail. So people don't like phone calls at 6:30am!!! I called the police to report this, i called insurance to talk to a whole lot of people who didn't know what to do so they would transfer me to someone else who might be able to help. I made a makeshift window with some black garbage bags and duct tape and hoped for the best. It is really hard to see with a black window!! and cold as well driving down a highway at 100km/h.
An appointment is made to have the window fixed horray!!!
Take it in, and at this point i am thinking that i have everything under control, NOPE! I recieved a phone call from the auto glass store telling me they ordered the wrong window, but for the hassle they would fix it when i got back, and they would also give me a great deal. In the meantime they placed a piece of plexiglass to help with driving and such. I thought to myself, how am i supposed to leave my car at the airport for two weeks, with a plexi glass window, i am just asking someone to steal it. My boss being the kind person that he is gave me his vehicle, and had me park my vehicle in his garage at work. Wow, i didn't know what to say. Feeling bad that i would have his vehicle for two weeks just parked at the airport i rented a car one way to get me to the airport.
Smooth sailing now right?! I got home to finish packing, cleaning... but wait where is my passport?? I went through all of my drawers, papers, shelves... no luck. I won't lie i did start to cry. I called my boss at 11:00pm, to see if he would let me in to check in my car that was parked at work, and he graciously drove on down to let me in. No luck there as well. Driving home a bit hopless, i got home and said yet another little prayer. With some more careful looking, i found it just in time to shower and crawl into bed to get a solid 2 hours sleep before having to drive to Calgary.
But i made it and my next post will show you all of the fun we have been having!!!
I didn't know you had a blog! Now I do, and it's great to read. I know that sick feeling when a passport is missing. Last summer my dad and I made super-speedy trip to Utah, and we mixed up our passports after we got back. A few days later I had to head to Whitefish for work (believe it or not), and when I got to the border with my brand new coworkers, I pulled out my passport and saw my dad's picture! I was sick! Then I was terrified we'd have to turn around, or they'd have to leave me there and explain to my new boss that I'm disorganized. Fortunately the border guard just laughed at the mix up and waved me through on the condition that I'd never mix passports up again. Phew!
