Got stuck working late again tonight. At 10:56 pm, I discovered that my Jeep had been broken into.

Of course its raining like a fuck. Of course its blowing toward the smashed out window. Of course it takes the cops 17 minutes to arrive and another 45 to call in a forensic equipped car, and then run back to the station for the fucking camera while I stand there getting soaked from the sideways rain.

There was blood in the car. They think they might actually catch them. There were 10 vehicle break ins tonight, and they are rare in cherry hill.

All they got of value was a check book....Some cds and a couple dvds... I think. My radio, ez pass, jar of quarters in the glove box all still there...

fucks up my day off. ...insurance deductible is $250.... Assholes.

Dude, blood in the car? Was this like an injured druggie looking for medical supplies? That's not terrifying or anything. I hope they catch him soon.

He must have cut his hand on the broken glass. Finger smudge on my headrest, drop on the center console.

Just called the bank and stopped payment on the checks that were inside... Waiting for a return call from my insurance agent. I'm in good hands.

Totally sucks. I hate that shit. You're just trying to live your life and mind your own business and some punkass has gotta fuck things up. Like breaking into your car. Like running into your car and leaving.

I hate punkass punks.

I'm usiing the 'hate' word a lot today. I think I need to write a poem: An Ode to a Sidler. That will help bring my blood pressure down. Until I hear his mealy mouth grub-worm-like brain hholding court on whatever ELSE it is he knows enough words to to make it sound like he's a goddammed lifelong professional.

He's got a freaking mail order bride who spends her time spending his money on his house. And she won't fuck him until they're married. He's DUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Yoohooo, Sidler? Are you listening? Stop worrying about MY job, and E's job, and T's job and FIND SOMETHING HELPFUL TO DO.

kthxbai

(having a serious backslide...I'll be OK in a few, just feeling overwhelmed, with reason.)

Tanks for listenin'!

And we're breathing....innnnnnnn.....and, ouuuuuuttt.... Pay close attention to the change as you go from in to out. Find the instant it switches. Focus in tighter and tighter until its just a tiny spark in your mind.....

Ahhhhhhh......


Hang in there woman!

I knew a guy in NYC who always kept his car doors unlocked so thieves wouldn't smash a window to get in. He would go on and on about how clever he was.

They smashed his window anyway.
