I tried posting this last night but for some reason it wouldn't work. I was so upset that I'm glad that I didn't. I'm not crying anymore and feel much more calm.
But...I always take my rings off when I wash my hands at work - I just hate the feeling of wet rings and they're hard to get nice and dry. Anyway, so yesterday I do the same thing I always do...but I had a headache so I started massaging my temple and walked out - leaving my rings on the counter.
20 minutes later I realized what I'd done and ran back - but they were gone.
No one had seen anything ( my good friends sit near the women's room). I went to security and filed a report. The cleaning ladies came to my desk and talked to me - and this morning one told me that they checked EVERY single garbage in the kitchens and bathrooms on every floor. They are so sweet.
But it's gone. It's been two days now and if someone hasn't turned it in by now they aren't going to. And I know that it did not fall down the drain (impossible with the design of our sinks) or get thrown out. They were right in the middle of the counter which is very long and fairly big. Someone took them.
It almost hurts worse that someone at my work did this. I spend almost more time there than at home and it's like a big family. We raised over $10k for a coworker who is battling her 4th round of cancer and in just two days raised $1k for a coworker who had a heart attack. I love my coworkers and cannot see a single person keeping my ring.
It just breaks my heart. Luckily my husband wasn't mad at me and said that we just have to go buy a more expensive one now. The goof ball. I want THAT one! It was MY ring. I don't want to deal with shopping for a new one either. *sigh*
Thanks for letting me vent. I cried all day yesterday at work - kind of embaressing but everyone was really sweet about it. Like I said, I love my coworkers so thish is just very disheartening.

So sorry, tons of hugs!
