January 31, 2005 :: Bad karma week

OK, I'm not sure whose cornflakes I peed in recently, but check the following:

• Tripped on the concrete steps in the parking garage here at work and banged my kneecap on the point of the steps. Hurt like hell, and for a while I thought I had broken my kneecap. Hurts a lot less now, and I had a MRI this morning. We'll find out more later. Thank God for good (PPO, not HMO) health insurance, because that MRI cost them $880. In fact, the type of insurance I have was the 2nd question my doctor asked. The first: "Was there a girl around?"


• Had my best wool 3/4 length coat, wool hat & scarf stolen from Ozio. Yes, I laid it down on a chair, and not in the coat check (which I didn't know existed). The people who were at the table when I laid it down (with whom I am acquainted but not close) were long gone when I went to get my coat, and it was ghost. Of course, I followed up with the manager on the off-chance someone picked it up by mistake and returned it, no dice. Pissed... $250 gone and counting...


• Dropped my cell phone again, now the hinge is completely broken. I never liked that phone, and its mistreatment shows (dropped 3 times in January, plus I spilled lemonade on it so I can barely hear people when I am not using the earpiece). Replacement costs for a suitable phone will run me another $250. (yes, I know I can get them cheaper if I sign my soul away AGAIN, and no, I didn't and don't plan to buy the damn insurance. I can get phones for the same price as the Sprint store's soul-bartered discount price by shopping online. Ebay is great for this kind of thing.)
