Ghost-Cover-Eye

I lost my Sales Receipts the other day. It was the first time ever, in 4.5years? I am usually very careful with my sales-paperwork. I didn't even realise that it was missing until I started to look for my little clipboard before I did my Sales rounds on the flight. And this was already on the way back to Singapore. I searched my cabin bag and my mamasan bag but it wasn't there. I was upset but I thought, Hey, I'd probably left it on the cart. All I had to do was write an email to the other girl and see if she found it. When I got home, I gave my bag another peek before I wrote her.

She replied today. She didn't find anything. I was really upset now. I was 90% sure that I had left it there. Where else could I have put it? That was probably the last place I saw it.

I went through my bag again. One more time, I said. Searched all my little pouches, pockets and even in my files. Nothing. Then I picked up my announcement book in its little black bag to put it away. I felt something. And there it was! It had been in my bag the whole time! The weird thing was that I had been using the announcement book during the whole flight and yet, I didn't see it at all. Didn't even realise that it was there in the little bag although it was a little heavier than usual.

I'm so relieved now. I don't have to write an official report to state my loss. I don't have to worry about having to pay for any shortfalls. I guess when your mind is so preoccupied, you do tend to overlook things and not be focused.

Or, it could have just been a case of "ghost-cover-eye"??!! I wonder ..
