Paradise, found
In the last couple days I’ve pissed off a few good friends, burned up some brownie points at work, raised some hell at home, and to top it off, tonight, thought I’d lost the closest thing I own to a piece of jewelry, my Wenger Chronograph:
I even ranted here about it, a full on rant too, because I had a good head of steam. Man, I was pissed. And then I clicked on “new entry” instead of “upload file” and lost twenty minutes of full-tilt boogie bitching.
You see, I’ve never been able to wear a watch. It’s always eluded me. I manage to destroy them, break the crystal, one thing or another. It’s a big pain. These wenger watches are the only things to be able to deal with the crap I put them through. I had one before this, almost identical, but lost it because I took it off to keep it from getting damaged while I was working on my trailer. This one, I determined, I was going to keep. And I lost it. And I was incredibly anal-retentive about keeping tabs on it, too, but this time I just seemed to lose my mind.
One way or another, the wife found it on our dining table under a pile of other books. it’s back on my wrist now. It’s good to have things back to normal. Well, as normal as they get here.
og,
Nice lookin’ ticker there… I’ve had the same problem with destroying watches, which is why I haven’t worn a “nice” watch in ages… I tend to go with the Timex “Expedition” series, as they’re cheap and look somewhat presentable.
This one, I have beat it up pretty bad and it comes back. I like it a lot, I was quite distraught when I thouight it was gone.
Man, I hate losing things I dig. Glad you recovered it. That woulda sucked.
Indeed, vman. It’s been aparticularly brutal year, lifewise. I’m trying to beat the funk and move on, but it’s being a long hard ride. Nice as it was to get the Wenger back, I still have a couple losses ot recover from, and other assorted bullshit.
