This morning Alex was nervous because he couldn't find his commuter bag. It has his laptop, hard drive, notes, lots of pretty important work stuff. And its brand new, really nice, not at all cheap. He asked me if I thought he left it at the bar last night where we met friends for happy hour and I was like "Even for you, that would be crazy to not notice a huge fucking commuter bag the whole bike ride home AND all last night".
BUT he loses things all the time. Like, I can't let him borrow certain really nice things of mine bc he's lost or destroyed a couple of things, and I had to cut him off, bc this shit is expensive. And he understands this. At a conference, he once left an entire brand new suit in a hotel room closet (easy enough) and didn't realize for weeks (I would have realized this on the plane, or unpacking at the least). He's lost countless expensive winter jackets, water bottles, thermoses, random gear etc...
So our thing is I can almost always find it without even looking for it, sometimes he'll even call me when I'm in Arizona and I'll know where it is before he does. So this morning I was in bed reading an email from my boss and he was futzing around asking me a million questions about his bag and then eventually he asked me to help him look for it and it was in the first place I look, HIS OFFICE. LOL. Why the fuck did he freak out when he hadn't even looked in his OFFICE the most obvious place to leave your work bag. It was in the middle of the floor in plain sight AND he slept in there last night bc he had trouble sleeping! So that gave me a big laugh and then he said,
"Since you're enjoying this so much, you should also know that I made myself a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich for lunch and then I ate it."
Bahahaha. He is SO fucking scatterbrained that he made his own lunch and then in the process, forgot he was making lunch and then when he was done, he was like "im hungry, hey here's this sandwich!" Hahaha, WHAT?! This is a man who scored a perfect score on the GRE and gets straight A's in grad school, but he eats his fucking lunch for breakfast and 'loses' his most important bag. LOL.
