You anxiously board the subway that screeches to a halt in front of you. You knew you wouldn’t get a seat, but you’re thankful to have a pole to hold onto. Irritated about the fact that you no longer are in possession of your wallet, you begin to come up with a game plan, noting every item of value inside of it, and thinking of which companies to call first to order replacements or immediately cancel service. This passes the time it takes to get to work.
While you were just barely able to clock in on time, you did not spend much of the morning doing any actual work. You told the story to co-workers in the coffee room and cancelled all of your credit cards. Thankfully, nothing had been charged on them… yet.
Around lunchtime, you receive a phone call from Sean. “Hey!” he said, “You still coming by after work? The food here sucks, but at least it’s expensive!” You smile and tell him that you can’t wait to share the epic saga of your commute with him and that of course, you’d be happy to stop by the hospital on your way home.
The rest of the afternoon goes by without a hitch, and before you know it, you’re back on the subway, headed to the hospital downtown to see your friend.
