Maybe it's blasphemous to quote 'Amazing Grace' in relation to bling, but I'm too excited to care--I found the necklace and earrings that I was so upset about yesterday. I had to stop by the receptionist desk in my building to get a new retractable zip-cord thingie for my security badge (I have a bad habit of twirling my badge, so I wear out the cords every couple of months). On a whim, I decided to ask if she had any jewelry in the lost-and-found; I had lost my badge for a couple of days in August, and she didn't bother to email me even though my picture and name are on the badge, so I figured that the likelihood I would have heard about anonymous jewelry at reception was virtually nonexistent. Turns out that it was all there--both earrings and the necklace, in perfect condition except for some weird damage to one of the earring backs (which doesn't matter because they came with an extra back, which I still have). I have no idea how they got there--it's weird that I could have lost the necklace and the earrings in a way that they would be recovered together, but I'm not questioning my good fortune.
Conversely, my bad fortune is that I'm still working at 1:30 a.m.; but, I got to listen to Craig Ferguson's velvety Scottish accent in the background as a result, so I can't be too upset. I took a break from 7-9 to eat dinner and watch some tv, before working from nine until now. Hopefully if I work really hard this week, I won't have to do anything this weekend, but we shall see. Now, I should go to bed--morning will come all too soon. Goodnight!

Nooooooo... After reading your last blog, I'd taken all my money out of savings and bet it all at the racetrack. Curse your good fortune!
