The Grief Process :

 

D - denial <- comes naturally, but blows over quickly

A - anger < comes easily, don't klap anyone if (you can) during this 

B - bargaining <- fight with the insurance?

D - depression <-- here is where you buy more bicycles, get there soon :clap: <- yes, agreed

A - acceptance <- this only happens if you did the "buy more bikes" part right

Snip... it won't be my MARTINI NINER...Snip

 

You do realise that you will not be able to replicate that Martini.... not unless you brush up on your self defence (read sprinting) skills! Anybody sees an oke riding a Martini Niner, you are guaranteed to receive an ass whipping of note..... there is after all R10k at stake here....

Technically Uni and I were sharing......but I think while you got your apron and slippers on, you could make a whole one for me too! 

P.S you still owe me R5. :devil:

I can so relate to this when I think back at having the guy with the Z88 took my Rolex and wallet.

 

The biggest thing for me was recalibrating my threat response.

 

For quite some time I wanted to moer everybody, no matter how benign (or even imagined) the threat. Fight or flight became fight every time which was not ideal in a corporate environment where the perceived threats were not even physical ones. 

 

Work at not getting stuck in the anger phase. I didn't and it ultimately made me a worse person for a while.

 

Good luck, and hope you get the opportunity to "discuss" your feelings with the POS that took your bike.

 

 

Ps, what bits are you still missing ?
