3's

Ever heard the saying "it happens in 3's"? It rang true today. Well technically yesterday now, but whatever.

Let me tell you about my 3's.

1. I got on the train with my train pass (3 months validity, still 2 months left on it) my work pass, my collectors pass (for work), my warrant badge and card, my Oyster card, My Staff Travel Pass and Staff Travel Discount pass and my bank card, in this lovely black wallet style, well, pass holder.
I got off the train and it was gone.  I looked everywhere.  I called the station I boarded the train from and got them to search the platforms and ask the ticket office if anything was handed in.  I got information to radio control to check with the guard. NOTHING.

I got to work, called Oyster and cancelled the card and got a new one issued.  I called the bank and cancelled my bank card.  I spoke to my boss to cancel my work pass and note everything as missing and requests for new ones. I filled in the form to replace my missing travel documents of which it's costing me a £15 charge for each item to be replaced.

2. I go to the photo machine to get some photos done to replace my ID Photo Card.  The machine asks me to insert my money. I insert my £5.  Nothing happens. No photos, no refund.  I email the company requesting my £5 back!  I use another machine where I can pay by card.  Photo's done.  They look crap.

3. On my way home I'm at a Pedestrian crossing, as I start to cross, a car flies past me, driver not paying attention to the road, rather choosing to continue his conversation on his phone (ILLEGAL!!) and almost kills me) or at least nearly injures me.

Overall, it wasn't a good day.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Tuesday, but Monday in disguise (she does that occasionally)

Here's hoping Wednesday is nice to me.
