losing stuff

Bummer

Personal

Sad but true story: last Saturday I spent €40 on earphones for my telephone. And I truly loved them: these were probably the first kind that actually fit my ears and delivered good sound including bass tones. Yesterday I put them away in my trousers or laptop case, or so I thought: I can no longer find them. They're not at the office, not at my hotel room, not in my bag, trousers or even shoes.. they're gone.

As a result I will probably be grumpy until I get an opportunity to replace them, which might be in Johannesburg early next week or else back home later next week. Of course I will still be grumpy having spent €80 in total for a goddamn set of headphones.

(This is not about the money, of course. I'm pissed off because of the inconvenience of not having my headphones around. And I feel like a complete waste of genes for being the loser who loses goods purchased less than five days after purchase. I hate me.)

Update Friday morning: at the office, after all. At someone else's desk.. I guess I should worry about memory loss more than gadget loss.
