Does work help with the expense, since their layers of security did shit-all?

I feel like if an item goes missing from what they call 'lock up' and you spot it before anyone else, someone failed pretty hard at their job.

They're sending me a report form, but I doubt they'll do fuck all. This wasn't one of the enclosed lock-ups. They have a couple but they're a huge pain to use and my bike is old and looks beat up, so I was just using the bike post parking on patrolled and camera-observed company property. Even if it was one of the enclosed cages, I doubt that would change anything - I've never heard of a company that offered liability over their parking lots, even for stuff like gated parking garages.

For three days now I've been feeling like someone sewed a basketball in my gut. It's been like, writhe in pain for half an hour, fart and/or burp, feel minor relief for a minute or so, then whoops something grumbles in there and I'm bloated again, repeat from the top. Also, thread title applies in new and exciting ways. In that last regard, I've got a strong contender for history's worst box of chocolates.

It's food poisoning, I suppose. "Oh, I'm sure these stanky-ass mushrooms are gonna be fine, it's not like I'm eating them raw." Man, look at the idiot.

Yuck. My sympathies. Food poisoning is the worst.

Well, second to worst. Nothing is worse than tooth pain. Unless it's like, something from Africa or whatever. Like those fish that go up your urine stream into your dick.

So I guess third to worst.

Well, OK, there's also Daikatana.

Oh, and I'm forgetting Kazz. How rude of me.

Oh, right, and Youtube comments.

Internet comments in general, really.

Right, right, and Detroit.

What were we talking about?

Caught two bicycle thieves stripping my bike at the lockup at work! Security has cameras on that spot and patrols around there, but whatcha gonna do?

I actually interrupted them and chased 'em down a bit. They got away by running into oncoming traffic but dropped some of my stuff, so I managed to save my bike itself, bell, gloves, backpack (my incredibly beat-up 20-year-old back pack, which I got them to drop and which I actually thought it was quite funny that they were trying to steal) tie-down stuff, and seat, which isn't bad. They did get away with my lights, they had to break one off because of the way I mount it (specifically to make it useless to thieves) and more importantly, my coat (left tight-packed with the bike by mistake/laziness).

The lights together come to $30, but I actually expect my lights to get stolen pretty damned frequently in this town (they do). Kind of ambivalent about the coat. It was cute in that it was made by a company that actually bears my name, but was actually kind of a shitty coat to wear, with a bad zipper, crappy waterproofing, and was fraying even though it was close to new. So of course now I have to buy a new one. I can hopefully pick up something better, but I would have preferred not to have to do that for a another year or three.

why didn't you use your wizard powers to slow them down

This is sort of like when an earthquake is reported on the other side of the world. You instantly know that sooner or later a rolling wall of shit is going to crash into your shore and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

Oh hey, that's an interesting ridge I see out in the ocean there.

EDIT: I mean, just to clarify this, my parents actually physically murdering each other is (and, really, has always been) a real, legitimate concern here.

EDIT2: If any cops read this like a month from now, hi, sorry, my brother and I tried our best.

Had to put down one of the rats today. Turns out rats crash hard at the end of their tiny lives, she was her usual energetic self on Thursday. Friday night comes and she's too lethargic to eat or drink, much less climb and explore.

It's sudden but not shocking. She was three. That's a long, full life for a rat, like a dog who passes at fourteen.

Our old dog roxy got put down today, she was about 13 years old, a lovely old dog, she was basically blind and deaf by the end, and we guess her brain went out on her, she started running in circles around the house, and just never stopped, she got to the point of exhaustion, where she was collapsing but still unable to stop.

She had a good life! And she'll be missed.

So my dog died, too, just half an hour ago. I just finished burying the little guy.

His name was Juniper, he was a Chinese Crested, and he was one of the coolest and funniest dogs in the world. He was easy and fun to play with, and whenever I went to bed he would lay down in the crook of my legs. He hated squirrels with a deep, incomprehensible passion, and had a rubber chicken he would maul incessantly and take everywhere.

I think he got into some rat poison or something.
