Good: This week was our annual company summer outing, a 3-hour lunch and cruise around Boston Harbor. It was a beautiful day and a good time with people I enjoy. My team came in third place in the trivia competition, and the scratch ticket I won yielded $4.

Bad: I lost my wallet somewhere between the boat and my office. Repeated phone calls to the cruise company were useless, so last night I canceled my credit and debit cards, ordered a replacement driver’s license, and put a fraud alert on my credit report.

Good: The American Express customer service rep was really nice, and she promised to overnight a new card to me.

Bad: As of 5:00 p.m., the package hasn’t arrived.

Also bad: Everything else (Citibank, debit card, license) takes seven to ten days.

Good: Mass RMV is pretty great — you can request a replacement license online. It’s $20,\ but seemed like a small price to pay to avoid a visit to the RMV itself.

Good: My wallet was found and dropped off at the M.I.T. Coop, where an employee notified my bank, who then called me at work.

Good: On the way to the Coop to pick up my wallet, I chased down a preschooler’s drawing that the sirocco-like wind had ripped from her hand, and her mother said, “That was very kind of you.”

Fantastic: Everything, even the cash, was intact. No lost Harvard Bookstore Frequent Shopper card! No need to request new medical and dental insurance cards! Best of all, I still have the “Damn, you’re awesome” card and am reunited with the incredibly adorable wallet itself, both from my wonderful boyfriend.
