Contrast that to my home town where my dad had been a part time cop back in the 50's, most cops in town knew him.
One day in the 80's he parked his antique 48 Ford pickup on the wrong side of the street to unload some stuff at my brothers house on a hill. Parked downhill in the parking lane so that the stuff would not fly out the back when we opened the tailgate.
We had taken a load into the house when we heard a bang. A woman had been adjusting her car radio while driving up the hill and had drifted into the parking lane and plowed into dad's truck head-on. As it was an antique, it was pretty much totaled.
The cop that came to the scene had the gall to tell my dad it was going to list it as mostly his fault because he was "parked illegally."
Oh, GC. I am so sorry. It has been such a shitty time for you guys. Much love and many hugs.
sj, I would totally report that to the landlord. And next time it happens? Call the cops. No. I'm not very forgiving, I guess.
sumi, that's so scary!
Stephanie, those are things you should actually say--especially to your boss. How insane!
There was other stuff. I didn't take notes or meara. I suck.
I'm home from jury duty four hours earlier than I anticipated. YAY! Also, it was kind of interesting, even though I didn't get on a jury. Relatedly, what is wrong with people? You come to jury duty with only your tiny purse that holds a chain purse and cell phone (which you can't use in the jury pool room) and complain the whole time about how boring and stupid this is. I think there is a correlation between the two. I was quite busy and happy. You were literally twiddling your thumbs. Next time, be more prepared. You may be happier. I know I will be, because I won't have to listen to you for four and a half hours.
(((((GC)))))) Sadly, I can sympathize more than I want to, having two of my family die last year. I will be thinking of you and Josie.

We were within seconds of calling the cops when it stopped, and we plan to tell the landlord that that is how we plan on handling such things in the future. I really hate this place, which I haven't posted because of how much I complained about the last place.

I have just applied for the four gajillionth time to Borders Group for a job.
Hopefully someone will take the hint that I want to work for them.
Fuckers.

Dang, you guys really have not been having the luck with apartments!

Or celebratory restaurants. Maybe you need to move closer to Boston :).

Not really. It comes down to the fact that real estate seems to lie so readily when we ask them basic questions.

Heh. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm really not good at living in a major city. This one is even too much. I want quiet suburban living again, please.

Thanks, but no thanks.
I know. But a girl can dream!
