Key Drama - long but probably humerous

Okay, so I drive a little sports car. I've never misplaced the keys, but have broken one on accident and it was replaced by the dealer, so I know how much it costs - $300! OUCH I came into work this morning at 6:30am, I reached over into my passenger seat to grab something grabbed my coffee and got out. Locked the door (don't remember doing it, but must have because the car was locked) with my door thingie. I went directly upstairs reached for my OTHER set of keys because a door is generally locked and I don't carry both sets together. I was happy because the door was open so I put my other keys (without the sportscar key) into my pocket. Went up the stairs, around the corner, did the cypher lock. Went into my office dropped my stuff on the floor and put my coffee cup in front of me, turned my heater on and started working. At about 7:00 a co-worker came in and we chatted a bit and I moved into the kitchen to get another refil on the java! At 8:00 I decided I needed to put some stuff into my car and went to grab my keys (going for where they USUSALLY are) and couldn't find them. I tore the place up and down, I retraced my steps, I went further out into the parking lot (after looking under the car) in the possibility someone kicked them or a car snagged them and popped them further away. I had the windows cracked so I could try and unlock the doors with a stick, but because I locked it with my key, they wouldn't unlock. So, I called a pop-a-lock guy and he said because of the technology on my car, they couldn't do it without breaking the window. So I called the dealership- they couldn't do it because they're laser cut and it takes 2 weeks to special order and to hold onto my panties because it's gonna cost me. (yeah I knew THAT). So, I'm reluctant to tell my hubby because I already lost my cell phone last week (recovered) and I got paint all down the side of my car (fixed it's mostly gone now) and I didn't want to tell him what a dumb arse I was that I lost my keys! I ran home with the help of my DC and blamed my losing them on her (she told me to) because she wanted me right away, so I was distracted. I have gone so far as to look in the refrigerator, the bag I carried in, I cleaned my entire office, got naked in the bathroom and sent an email out to my entire building. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I know this was long, but dayum!!! I'm having a hellaweek!

You got nekid in the bathroom and sent an email out to your entire office building????? wow, I could never do that..... Darlene

Do you have AAA?--they pay for locksmiths I believe.

Okay okay, I put my clothes BACK on before going to the office and sending an email - what a sight to see if I were naked - all saggy and eeeewww!!!! BUT I FOUND THEM!!!!

great news! where?

My ergonomically correct chair sucked them up underneath the arm, so when I swiped my hands across the top, I couldn't see them. However, I bolted out of my chair to answer the door and my chair hit my keyboard and I turned around to fix it and there swinging underneath was my keys!!! YIPPIE!!!

gotta love the expensive keys. Is it one with a computer chip in it so you cant just go to the hardware store & make a copy?
