tragedy and stupidity

Today is not a good day for me.
I rushed to work today from Burwood (where I left Priscilla and the kids to learn swimming) and caught the train to central.
I was pretty sleepy on the train (kids again, poor sleep) and left the train at central.

The problem was that this wasn't a usual schedule for me. I brought 2 bags today, the other had books in it. so.... I left the other one on the train!!!

The bad news is this was my ... LAPTOP bag!! It's gone!! AArrggh!!

What's even worse...
I brought my NEW laptop in the same bag!! 2 laptops in 1 bag! LOST ON THE TRAIN.

How can I make this even more worse??

MY daughter's BIRTH CERTIFICATES were in that bag as well! (I was going to photocopy them at work!). And I have FINANCIAL information on it in spreadsheets. I guess they could also try to hack my security (eg: Firefox master password) etc.

I've been panicking - at the station they got the guard to look at the North Sydney stop, no dice.
Tried lost and found, called Wynyard, been to Town Hall, registered at Central station.. no dice.

I guess I just have to live on faith that someone will hand it in, but this is unlikely since I had a name tag on the bag with my name and mobile number in it.

I can only live in hope....



ps: the laptops were an IBM Thinkpad X30 (upgraded a lot) and a Lenovo Thinkpad X60s (upgraded a lot too). Bummer dude.
