Rage: This cold just refuses to die. It's been a week now!

I feel you. I've had a cold hanging around for weeks now.
I first got it when it was still Summer, and now that it's winter... ugh.

My record is spending over three months sick, a couple of years back. That was not fun.

I figured out a while back that there's one thing in the world that is the root of all possible annoyance for me: having my attention demanded.

I feel ya, book lovers.

Someone broke into my goddamn car while I was at work 

[Arx]

That sucks. Did you lose anything important?

[Sirus]

That's the thing; so far as I can tell nothing was taken at all. If it weren't for the missing window and the glass everywhere it would be like nothing happened at all.

The primary reason I'm pissed off is that this happened in a secure lot. Which means that either someone with access broke in and should be fired, or the lot isn't as secure as it should be.

Almost the exact same thing happened to my sister's fiancé recently. He was pretty annoyed, too. Good luck with fixing the window!

Any reason it might be your window was broken other than theft? Malice, accident, etc.

[Sirus]

I'm keeping those options open. Like I said, nothing was stolen, but on the other hand there weren't any notes left either like I would expect in an accident. I can't think of anyone who would dislike me enough to smash a window just to be malicious - and if it were an act of anger or hatred I would kinda think that there would be more damage. 

Gonna call up the boss tomorrow and see if maybe there was any security camera footage.

I had the same happen a year ago. I forgot my gym bag in the car overnight, and someone managed to sneak into the parking garage for my apartment building early in the morning.
Smashed out one of the back seat windows and damaged the frame. All they took was the coin I used as a deposit for the lockers at the swimming pool.

I wonder why they would want that. I mean, now that you could, it's not like you'll unknowingly stow your stuff in that locker and then get them stolen.

I really ought to sleep more. Currently flipping between apathy and intense frustration about everything.

Weird-ass dream nightmares are back. Go away pls. :)

If people ask me what I'm reading, I just say "A book", in as flat a tone as possible. If they ask further, I say "An interesting book".

Family and people I like sometimes manage a free pass.

... from what I remember, my general pattern was to just hold the book up and point. Maybe show 'em the back/summary bit.

Sometimes I wouldn't even bother to stop reading. Just angle it so they could see the back cover and gesture, making non-committal non-words. Busy reading, call back later.

It's been a while since I've actually read print in public, though. Nowadays it's mostly people getting confused as to what I'm doing on the computer when I'm reading fanfiction or somethin' that's been decently colorized for readability. It's vaguely amazing how many people confuse white text on a black background (FF.N's default color swap -- I prefer grey on dark blue, but that takes a little more effort to get working) for coding.

People also confuse DF for coding, and pinging google for HACKING THE ENTIRE SCHOOOOOOOL

Well, one is trying to force dozens of misbehaving, stupid little things represented by alphanumeric symbols, with massive disasters brought about by, traditionally, booze and/or cats, and the other is Dwarf Fortress. I really can't see how anyone could make that mistake.
