R.I.P. Paycheck

¡Esta cabron!
Mistake of the year... leaving envelope holding my cash "paycheck" in my office over the weekend and thinking that a locked door in a locked school would keep out heartless thieves. Booooohooooo. It's gone and there's nothing I can do about it. If it were a check, I'd get the school to cancel it and print out a new one. Not gonna happen. Since I don't have an FM3 (legal work permit) here in Mexico, I can't get a Mexican bank account, which means that I can't cash checks, which means that I am paid in cash every 2 weeks. Now my peso salary might not be much to the average American but to me it's like GOLD... especially on the brink of Spring Break when the one and only Carlota is coming to visit. Not that we wouldn't have the best of times porching it and drinking cheap booze but still. I need a little spice in my life from time to time and I had big vacay plans for the break. All I can really say is ¡Que triste! and I hope that those responsible are using my hard-earned cash to feed needy children and not for Gucci velour pantsuits.
