Never steal anything small. You are risking your career for chump change. Beg on the street until you get enough money for a [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]egenerate: tattoo. Then buy a copy of George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London. Then Doschevsky's the Gambler.

Some people are not cut out for poker and you are one of them. You are a great poster and you can still post.

Thanks - I can see I come across as a natural born loser when it comes to gambling in a classic Freudian sense, with losing fulfilling some kind of subconscious urge I have to hurt and cause trouble for myself, to feel humiliated and brought low. It really feels as if I try to make myself like a tramp, a bum. Yes, I've read both of those books, but I ought to read them again!

Im in awe at you trying to romanticize yourself, when you are so pathetic.

Yes, I did the same three, four years ago when I had a raging alcohol problem. I would read great novels about desperate alcoholics and imagine I shared in their dirty, desolate glamour (which insofar as it existed was there only as characters in a work of art).

How bad a theft is it though, if it's from someone who left the firm and abandoned her small change?

Theft is theft, karma is karma.

Call her up, tell her she left it there.
Maybe she'll tell you to just keep it.

I learned a long time ago how self destructive this kind of thinking is. So, cut it out.

Based upon your OP, you probably should modify your forum name at some point.

Here's what I should do:

1. Stop playing poker forever (I can tell myself it's for
six months).

2. Write a novel about a degenerate gambler, squalid and phonily romantic. Put all my energies into this, and try to get it published (I do have a few connections - until not long ago I was an Eng Lit PhD student at one of the top schools in the country).

3. Profit!

Just because of

"Theft is theft, karma is karma."

I vote take it, just to prove people who believe in crap like karma wrong.

Yeah I'm taking it. I went to the bank and got it changed up. When I get paid, I'll tell a girl who knows her "Your friend left £6.50 in change in her drawer, I got it changed up for her as I was going to the bank anyway" and pay it back that way.
