I am SUCH a dumbass!

So I get home from work tonight, get a primo spot right in front of the building, get out ... and promptly lock my keys AND my cell phone in the car. FUUUUUUUUUCK. Just as I was pulling in the woman behind me was pulling out, so I moved my car all the way forward so that she could get out of her spot easily. I was trying to hurry out of my car so that she could leave in a hurry, and between this and trying to make sure she had enough room, I grabbed everything BUT my keys and cell. FUUUUUUUUCK. The only person with spare keys to my apartment and my car (thank God he has both!) is BJ, but I don't have his cell phone number memorized. I pull out my day planner, and thankfully I scrawled it in there. So I have exactly two dollars in cash on me, and I walk around the block to the gas station to get quarters for the pay phone. But the guy working in there doesn't speak English, and after asking three times for quarters, I pantomime using the phone, and THEN he gets it. So I get my quarters, march back outside, and try the phone. The first one doesn't work. The second has a dial tone, so I punch in BJ's cell and it asks for another quarter. Then it tells me it can't connect. And then it eats my quarters! ARRRRRGH! So at this point I go over to the bar down the street, tell them the situation, and they let me use their phone. I call BJ, and he has to cancel his evening meeting so that he can take the train home from downtown, find my spare keys, and then drive all the way back down here to let me in the car. Being a nice guy and the bestest friend around, he heads out with my keys ASAP, and two beers and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich later, he's there. THANK. GOD!!! And now I'm home in time for Smallville and Angel, and I owe BJ my firstborn child (if he wants it), and the cat has been fed, and Margaret, aka fishdoctorpost, is coming over to watch Angel with me even though my place is a mess.

If I hadn't had a night of relatively heavy drinking last night, I'd be doing the same tonight. Oy vey.

I am SUCH a dumbass!
