Re: Should I steal this money?
[ QUOTE ]
WTF, of course take the money. You don't have any food! Then when you quit gambling and get your next paycheck, get in touch with the old secretary, tell her you found the change and took it to your bank to get bills and then you bought some lottery tickets but since the money was hers you will give her half of the money if you win.

Re: Should I steal this money?
I think it really depends on what else is in the drawer as a hint if she is planning on coming back or not? Are things like pictures still on her desk? Anything other reason she might be planning on coming back?
If there's no reason you think she's planning on coming back this is an easy steal...even if you aren't broke. If she ever comes back and asks for it and you have money at the time you can pay her back and say, I figured you didn't care about it or whatever. Going to the bank anyway and change it up story doesn't make sense imo as nobody would ever do that. Furthermore, if you are this short on money, I'd seriously suggest cutting off the internet payments...1) to save money, 2) so you won't gamble anymore.

Re: Should I steal this money?
With the money I bought 10 Marlboro Lights, 2 bagels, 1 large strawberry muffin, and made a donation to a busker I just stood and listened to perform Dylan's 'I Want You' and 'Just Like a Woman'. It was an uncannily good Dylan impersonation; the voice, the harmonica, the guitar all spot on, and two of my favourite songs.
I still have £1.50 left for tomorrow. Result!

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, nothing else in the drawer of any note, no personal items. The only situation in which she might come back would be to say hello/go for lunch with a friend who's still working here, but that girl is now in another department. So yeah, easy steal but it would look really bad if she did remember and ask someone to pick the coins up and they weren't there.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Jeez dude! You do get yourself in some situations don't you! My recco is, if u have enough to scare up a bus ticket, give ALKA a ring and he'll more than likely loan you a pony for food. [/ QUOTE ] I've borrowed money from 'Alka' too many times already; I really don't want to ever ask him again. I don't like to borrow from friends, and I count him as a friend. You know, it sucks to call someone up and have a good honeset sincere empathetic conversation, while all the time both of you know you've really called about borrowing money. It is bad for the self-esteem to borrow money and compromise friendships over it; even if you always pay back. So I would much rather take this abandoned small change, this £6.50, than ask a friend for a loan. [/ QUOTE ] On the assumption you have paid it back every time, he won't turn you down, especially when it's to keep you not starving for 4 days. I believe his policy is similar to mine when I was in London town. I had a neverending supply of score, pony, and bullseye loans for those who desperately RQD them AND who paid them back eventually prior to asking for another loan. Either Way good luck. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, but I think there comes a point where you see someone is taking the mickey. You might lend a friend a tenner a dozen times when he needs it... but twenty? Thirty? Forty? Sure, he always pays you back but it's a hassle for you. You realise you're just being used like an ATM safety net by someone who despite a good income is making no effort to manage their money and look after themselves. And maybe a bit of tough love would preserve the friendship and help them, too.

They actually offered me a replacement card soon after but I said no, I actually would rather I wasn't able to deposit online for a while...
