Keys

I cannot find my work keys, and I found out this evening that this could be a real problem.

Last Tuesday I was at work and needed my keys for something, and when I looked in my purse to get them, they weren't there. We had been in Tyler the previous weekend, so I emailed Aaron's mom and grandmother to ask them to look for the keys (neither of them have found them). I've looked in my car and Aaron's car numerous times, we've looked in and under all of our couches, I've looked on and under my desk and my co-worker's desk...

I haven't been able to find the keys anywhere. I have a few more options (including calling Housekeeping to see if someone found them), but I found out this evening that if I can't find the keys, our entire building plus one floor of another building will have to be re-keyed and all of our professors issued new keys, all at great expense to my department. This makes me extremely embarrassed and sad and angry and frustrated and...

Please pray. Of course, I want first and foremost to find the keys, and I know the Lord knows where they are. I would love for Him to speak to somebody about where they are and return them to me. But if this doesn't happen, please pray for grace on the part of our professors and especially my new boss. I really hate the idea of going to her and telling her the department will have to spend thousands of dollars because I can't find my keys.

...and if you happen to see 8 or 10 brass-colored keys and a Boston key chain, please let me know!

Oh, honey. Have you found them yet?

No, and at this point we're proceeding as if they're lost. We're going to re-key the entire building. The cost is no longer the big issue; this is going to be a massive project. *Sigh* But my boss has been extremely compassionate and kind about the whole thing, so that's been a huge load off my mind.

I'm glad she's being compassionate. It's possible that someone really did steal them and the whole thing is necessary and there is nothing you could have done. But I'm sorry nonetheless.
