Okay! I've been to the police station. I went to the bank and they can't give me a temp debit card without ID, so I have some cash that I hope will last long enough to get me home. I've reported my corporate card as lost & they are expediting me a replacement for Monday. Calling to replace my health insurance card is next.
I can active my Ventra transit card this weekend and I can replace my Driver's License on Monday. I'll work on replacing my rewards cards after the big stuff gets taken care of.
I'm also somehow managing to squeeze in some work around all this.
My mother is being released any minute now. And Jesus, she's a terrible patient. I think we're all going to need a crankiness-related nap this afternoon.

I think I'll ask my boss for a loan to make it through the month
Naps! Take all the naps, Dana. My weekend plans right now are napping and comfort TV marathons.
tommy - I'd be concerned he had done this to other employees also.
I'd make very very very sure the money went to withholdings and not some caribbean vacation fund or up the accountant's noseā¦.
Speaking of how do things happen, I apparently accidentally ordered a new laptop for my new hire, which wasn't in the departmental budget. I went back to see what I had done, and what I had written on the requisition form was: (desk currently has a desktop -- is there a laptop that could be used instead?) with no budget codes or anything! WTF, IT dude?
