Violated.

Went to go to work this morning, and found my car broken into. Bart’s car also got hit. They took our stereos and radar detectors, and Bart’s credit card & atm card. This isn’t the first time cars have been broken into in our apartment complex, either. Thieves hit the same parking lot last summer. Hopefully they go to use one of Bart’s cards and get videotaped.
Edit: Bart found his atm card. They also took a set of tools and a lawn chair from his car.
Edit Feb 8th – I have full coverage on my car, so I only need to pay a $100 deductible and I get my stereo and window replaced, along with the molding/pieces of my car that got ripped out when they took the stereo & radar detector. Bart had to pay about $200 out-of-pocket to have his window replaced.
Shit-tastic

Today was just unbelievably dumb.
I got to work a little early so I could upgrade my workstation, which I thought would be a quickish thing, but nooo. Kubuntu had other ideas. The GUI install bombed out and borked my debconf. I rebooted and X &/or KDE were borked such that I had no GUI. So I ended up spending about 45 minutes “fixing” it and re-doing the upgrade, which finally completed successfully. Except for the fact I have no sound again. Grr.
Then there was workstuff. People’s sites overloading servers, yaddayadda. Busybusybusy.
Bart called me in late morning/early afternoon to let me know some asshole busted off the antenna on his car sometime last night – likely someone from our apt complex but possibly just a passing vandal.
Then I got home and retrieved the mail, which contained our electric bill from LBWL. Which is due tomorrow. I don’t know why we’re just now getting it since the “date printed” date on it says Nov 19, and I’m assuming it came from just across town or wherever LBWL gets them printed. The envelope also was not sealed at all. Not making me happy. I paid it online just now, hopefully that’s good enough.
