The Watch Twice Owned
Last week was one of those weeks that everything just seemed to go wrong. It all started when I went to the library to check my e-mail , oh how i miss my ethernet at school! I sat down and wrote my sister an e-mail and my wrists started hurting because of my watch, so i decided to take it off and type without it on. So, I proceeded to place it beside the keyboard where I was typing. My wife sat down beside me and also started working on the computer next to me. I got finished before she did with her solitare game. So, I decided to go check out the VHS and DVD selections. While I was looking she came over and started looking at them with me. When we found what we wanted, we checked them out and went to Cone Palace for ice cream. As I was driving home I realized that I had not picked up my watch off of the computer counter. So, I proceeded to return to the library to retrieve it. I went back to the computer and it was gone. So I went to the front desk and asked them if anyone had found it and turned it in. They asked around and no one had turned it in, but one lady had seen it but thought i hads gone to the bath room. It was gone! About that time my frustration level was running high and i walked outside where my wife was waiting in the car, and proceeded to hit the hood of my 2003 Toyota Corolla S. When I got home I still was in a bad mood and went straight to bed. In the morning when I got ready to get in my car to go to work, I noticed there was a nice fist sized dent in my hood, Great! I put up the hood and did my best to push it out. It doesn't look nearly as good as it once does. I talked to my brother on the phone and he suggested that I put up a reward sign in the library so I did. OK, so that all happened Tuesday and Wednesday and now it is Wednesday a week later. I was driving home today and I got a phone call from a girl saying that she thought that she had my watch, so I went to the bank and got out the money that I promised as a reward and drove to their house and exchanged for it. So, now I am out $100, but at least I have my $500 watch back that to me is now worth $600. At least the second time was cheaper than the first. I doubt I would have spent much more than 100 on a new one anyway. So, oh well thats life and my stupid mistake. Tomorrow I will have renters insurance too that should cover anymore stupid mistakes I may make, but hopefully I won't have to use it.
