bloody 'ell does the drama never cease?

You know my life would not be the same without some drama appearing out of nowhere just to give me that extra kick in the ass. I normally wear my school lanyard around my neck and do not take it off until I reach my apartment in Toronto. Although it looks silly to have two little keys danging from my neck, I feel safer knowing they are with me and I place them in my front pocket when I get home. It is not everyday that your boyfriend proposes to you at work and so that day I placed my lanyard in the front pocket of my school bag.

I probably should not have done that because the keys are gone. I am not sure where they are, but they are gone. I thought I had them with me when Adrian picked me up from work and there were two Cabot kids behind me on the bus. I thought I was wearing it then and only took it off that afternoon when I went to Dufferin mall to pick up photos I needed for an upcoming lesson. I think someone must have seen the little piece of lanyard sticking out and mistaken it for car keys and just ran away with it.

I have searched my whole apartment for those keys. Now that I cannot find the keys, the Vice Principal must replace the locks on two sections of our school. One of them is for all the classrooms in two wings, then all the cupboards in the clasrooms and then the workrooms. I assume the task will cost thousands of dollars.

But wait, it gets better! In addition to loosing the keys, I also lost the locker assignment sheet for my class. This means that a student has taken the list and now has access to 27 lockers with personal possessions. Today the Vice Principal and I had to issue new locks with new combinations and this is only my second week of work.

I guess you could say I am not exactly very popular, although people are trying to be nice. Now my department head and co-worker think it is odd that I was booted out of St. Martin, but a newbie was hired to replace me. According to union rules, I should have a higher say on whether I wanted to return to Martins and to some degree I really really really miss that place. So how was your week?
