lost job

I can't believe I forgot to write this post until now. I guess in all the bustle of losing my job, I forgot to post about it. I lost a steady income, three co-workers and one boss. I think I might have also lost my desire to live in NYC, but that is yet to be seen.

in our apartment

so I did my part and un-lost the scarf and pin I left in the other apartment. another person did his part by stopping by this morning to un-lose his backpack, but we still have a game and a pair of fingerless gloves, still lost to their owners, on our couch.

whatchamacallit

someone lost a small red nylon pouch. a cellphone case? a change purse? if it's yours and you want to un-lose it, it's hung by its strap on the lamppost outside the music hall. it's a cheerful thing! it looks like a tetherball, or a balloon put out to announce a party.

everything detachable

it's that time of year! the cold time of year when everyone loses everything. too many things detachable, naturally fragmenting. the Democrats threw a rager last night and this morning there were several panicked emails sent out by the people in charge of the party, begging people to come back and claim their belongings. I know the coat room at Weaver must still be a small, room-sized sea of forgotten coats, mis-matched gloves and lost scarves. someone lost their hat. someone else took home the wrong jacket, ill-fitting and navy blue in the morning light, not black after all. I bet at least one girl started the evening out in high heels, and left in a borrowed pair of boots. it's a lovely and completely solvable mess, the mass-losing: go back and un-lose.

glove, confession

so... someone lost their glove a while ago, and I picked it up. it was dark, we were on our way to the Cove (it's a bar) and inebriated, but still good people, so it wasn't a strange decision to pick it up, at the time. the unfortunate part was that I forgot about it, didn't send an email, and just found it on my bookshelf the other day. so... if you lost a woman's glove for the left hand, slate blue and lined with thinsulate, possibly sometime in October, I know where it is, and I always intended to help you un-lose it.

sweater

someone lost a sweater. it's been in Bailey 25 all week. I haven't touched it, so I do not know if it is a man's sweater or a woman's sweater, but it is navy blue. crewneck. cable knit. it's in the back row, fallen against the wall of the slide projector booth.
