Please write me back when you get up and let me know what my options are. All I can tell you is that I got off the train at Oshawa and realized once Igot to the car, it was left on train and I ran back but I missed the train pulling away. Could you call me? I don't care how early it is. All I need is a phone number of someone to call maybe the CSA of the train. Do you know what happens to the stuff on the train? It's an Acer laptop/Win 7. I can probably find the serial number. Would that help at all???

Absolutely I know people. I know the guy from the post office across the street from me, I think his name is Larry. Then there's the guy who stands with me at my bus stop every morning who offers me Twizzlers but I don't take them because I quit sugar but I think he thinks I don't take them because he's not hiding behind a bush offering candy like in those films we watched as kids about not taking candy from a stranger. Remember those? Hilarious!

I really need you to take this seriously. Do you think you can do that? Like fuck! This isn't funny! You don't answer your emails. You don't reply back to texts. It's not cool.

I went to the Lost and Found. They had my laptop. Someone found it on the train and turned it in this morning but no thanks to you of course.

I need an address to send the invoice to for the work I did on that poster.
