Imagine that you bought a new apartment in a city that is more than 1000 miles away from your home, you moved just because of a job offer. Anyway, when you are finally standing at the front of your new door, you pick in your pockets for the key, but don't find anything. You look in all your pockets and even your bag, but without any results. The only pocket money you have is 2$ (you are very poor) and the temperature is much lower than the freezing point. Great, you are in a new city where you don't know anyone (apart from your new boss) and doesn't have anywhere to go.
So now it's time to: 1. Survive the night. 2. Get the keys somehow in the morning. 3. Contact your boss and explain the situation. 4. Recover the pain. Here's an example on how you could solve the problem: 1. While you're inside the building it's ok, you can try to sleep on the floor (but beware, your sleep can be destroyed by anyone that walks in that corridor). If you meet someone then explain the situation and ask if they could allow you to sleep in their apartment. The chances that you will be allowed to sleep there will increase when you try to look as normal and unaddicted as you can. Don't be afraid! They will not hurt you since they already planned to do something else. Or let's say that you made another mistake, you went out in the middle of the night and couldn't get in again. Then it's very important to keep warm because of the weather. Enter a calm bar; explain the situation for the bartender and chances are that you get a free drink to ease the pain. Stay there until they let you sleep there or force you out on the street, if you get kicked out and no more bars in the town are open then just walk around in the safe parts of the city, until the sun goes up. 2. Then, in the morning, you contact the responsible person for your apartment and tell him/her that you don't have the keys. He/she will then most likely come pretty fast and open the door for you. 3. Contact your boss and explain the situation and tell him that you can't work today. He will not punish you for that if he's not a dickhead (but if he was, then you better don't work there). 4. Sleep, relax, eat healthy food, watch TV, take a look around in the city and make some phone calls. If you have a specific scenario that you would like to have solved then please tell us about it. |
