hilsSo after what has already been a shitty month after finding out there was no job in Atlanta after having already been given a contract stating that there was it seems that while I was in London today my phone was stolen. The phone I've only had for a week and that I bought for myself as a treat for not actually getting that job. And coupled with that I missed my train home and had to fork out nearly £100 to get back.
I'm starting to think I'm being punished.
I happily tell people I've been offered a promotion and am moving to the US. The job offer gets taken back.
I happily tell people I've bought a new phone. It gets stolen.
I happily tell people I sold my old phone for £170 which is nearly the full amount that I paid for the new handset. I miss my train and have to spend nearly all of that money on a ticket home.
I happily tell people I am going to Dallas con for my birthday so that I finally get to meet Sebastian. I don't even know if I can afford to go now as I'm going to have to pay the insurance excess to get a replacement phone.
All of this has happened in the past two weeks.
I just give up.

Might be worth calling them anyway, I don't mind going to collect it for you if they do have it but don't want to go to the effort of posting it to York.

Date: 2012-02-12 11:06 am (UTC)Don't you dare let this make you miss Seb in Dallas. We will search for your phone - I'll drag Caroline and Jen back to the pub if I have to! And maybe we'll set up a fundraising something to get you to Dallas :p
Aw. Just *have some more hugs*
