I just realized that I no longer have a portfolio folder, and I've not had it for at least a month!

I am just crossing my fingers that it landed on the right hands of a Good Samaritan at a lost and found and the places I think they may be at, or this just simply is going to suck very badly!

It seems that bad things this year so far has been coming in bunches and one bad thing seems to lead to another bad thing...

Indeed... my family's always said that. It's usually with deaths, though. The crap always seems to come in 3s. I think I'm going through one of those right now too.. I've gotten 2 out of the 3 out of the way though!

I can't believe that you lost your portfolio.. that's just heartbreaking. :\ You didn't have any backups or anything?

Yep, usually all shit happens at the same time...

There's a very popular Chinese saying: "Fortunes don't come in abundance, mishaps don't arrive alone."

Chin up.

I think every culture has a "bad luck comes in 3" type of saying. My advice is to do everything you can to break that spell and make luck work for you.

Dust off your knees, be extra careful, be more aware and in tune with life (zen), maybe work a little harder, and just be positive!

Studies have shown that the thing that your conscious brain focuses on the most influences the type of receptor cells your DNA replicates, until you find that all of your receptor cells and the cells of your body are made specifically to respond to negative type chemicals. That will be the DNA that you pass on to your progeny.

Force yourself to think positively, and you reverse the process.
It takes just as much effort to think positively as it does to think negatively,
but you have a better outcome healthwise.

Positivity attracts positive.
Negative attracts negative.

The really bad part of all of this is that, that portfolio possibly contains my resumes, which could be a serious issue!

Not only that, but I had not noticed it missing for almost an entire month!

Sorry to hear that Golden. Seems you've been having trouble w that lately. Good-luck tho.

Perhaps it's sitting in a lost and found somewhere. Hopefully, someone halfway intelligent will notice your information and give you a phone call.

In the meantime, can you replace those resumes?
