For the record, when on Monday at around noon I noticed that my car had disappeared from my parking spot, I:
a) Checked the other spots, the street, and the side-streets to make sure it hadn't been moved.
b) Called my landlord to make sure it hadn't been towed, but couldn't get him because it was a holiday weekend.
c) Called the towing company used by my landlord, and then all of the other towing companies in town.
d) Called the police.
e) Called GEICO.
f) Talked over the theft with C, A, and R (...in that order! funny coincidence) who convinced me that I shouldn't have been quite so insistent, in statements to the police and insurance agent, that my car door had been unlocked.
g) Called the police and insurer back to explain that I didn't know what had come over me when I'd said the door had been unlocked, I must have been casting around in my mind for something that would explain the shocking randomness of the theft.
i) Called my parents to explain what had happened to my car (actually my mother's car). My mother said, "Other than the car being stolen, how was your weekend?"
j) Was consoled by R and C (lol), who said I'd save a lot of money on gas and insurance and reminded me that New Brunswick is on the Northeast Corridor.
Then, and ONLY then, did I post a quick note to twitter. I know the web is full of twitter addicts but come on, give me a little credit!
So that's this week's bad news. The good news is that Pearson HR took my side in a hearing this morning. (Long story.)
Hope you all have been doing well. I've been working as an office manager for my dad in New York by day, taking graduate-level statistics courses by night. And falling asleep over my coffee every morning, XD.
