 Ok I did something really REALLY stupid, I lost my keys to the store at work. I keep my work keys seperate from my car keys. I put them in a pocket in my purse. I went to get ready to lock the door and I couldnt find it. Im so stressing about it. I left the door unlocked so I can get in the morning. Im hoping I can get it copied without my boss

Hopefully no one stole the keys. That would be bad. Probably not a cool thing to not tell your boss though - just in case...

ugh - suckitude. Have they turned up yet? I agree with Dottey that it might be a good idea to tell your boss, especially if you reach the 24-hour mark and they still haven't turned up. He might be more upset if day or weeks go by before he's notified.

He may not be happy about it, but the reality is that 1) you're human, 2) you've got a good track record of being a really responsible and reliable employee, and 3) while this may be inconvenient for him, it's not the end of the world as we know it.

Losing stuff sucks. I still can't find my wedding ring, and even though I know it's not the end of the world, I feel pretty crappy about it. =(

You can also chant "Tony, Tony, look around, something's lost that might be found." I'm told that this helps. That and leaving a small bowl of milk on the counter overnight, to keep the "little people" from taking things.

Good luck, and don't beat yourself up about it - these things happen.
