... If I Had My Wallet!

I needed to pay a friend $60 bucks. I planned on it, so I withdrew the $60 and proceeded about my day. In the course of the day, my wife asked me to pick up some formula. I was in a hurry, so I just used the cash I had on hand, figuring that when I get gas (for I was almost out) I'd get some cashback.

Being who I am, I was late getting up the next morning so I rushed out, forgetting to get gas. I realize this on the way, it's fine, I'll get there ok, just do it during my morning break. During my morning break, I go to the gas station to get my gas. This would have worked great.... if I had my wallet.

As the day progressed, the team started talking about lunch. After much discussion, we decided on a local mexican restaurant.  I was all jazzed and ready to go on the team lunch, which would have worked great.... if I had my wallet.

During my sack lunch later, I recall that I was supposed to get money back for my friend. So I jump in my car, and head to the bank. I was in a rush, so I figure I'll just hit the atm. This would have worked great.... if I had my wallet.

A few hours later, I was totally immersed in work.  I surfaced long enough to realize that I didn't have to use my card. I could just go into the bank to get my money. As I was working late, I decided to go during dinner. So I jumped in my car, got to the bank and was on my way in when I conveniently remembered that you need ID to withdraw cash. Which would have worked great.... if I had my wallet.

In the end, I had to make a separate trip to give them the money, and in fact had to borrow some money to even get home.

It was not a good day.
