FAIL SAFE

Its been a rollercoaster ride of a day!

It all began when I approached my car to go to work this morning...MY DOOR WAS AJAR!! I didnt quite understand but my initial thought was "did I forget to close my door last night?" But in reality I knew better...I would NEVER leave my door open...the schema is permanently burned into my brain that when you exit a vehicle you lock then shut the door. So, next, I opened my door and immediately noticed that the emergency brake was pulled up...something I have NEVER done to this car in 4 years. So, then I'm thinking "WTF?" I get in to look around and I notice that my sunglasses are gone, there is a strange dirt (not my regular dirt...I KNOW what the dirt in my car looks like, OK!) on the seats and in the backseat. Then I notice that one of the back windows is smudged. Then, I have the complete realization that someone had broken into my car.
After my initial scan, it didn't appear to have anything missing except for the sunglasses. Even my cd collection (probably $1000 worth of cds) was still sitting there on the passenger seat. Was this guy blind? Dumb? Or maybe he just didn't like my taste in music? There was no damage to my car. I was already running late for work, so, I opted to not call the police and just leave...go about my day. I didn't even make it out of the parking lot when a wave of disgust (which I can only think to describe as "the creepies") came upon me. So, I parked my car and jumped out...somewhat afraid to even be in my car. Its amazing how fast one's brain works in such a situation. I immediately started thinking of what this person did in my car. I thought: *did he drop any drugs in here? *did he take it for a joy ride and bring it back? *did he kill someone and put them in the trunk? *did he sleep in the backseat? *did he find anything that I am not aware of?
The next step was obvious! Check the trunk! I was afraid to open it but I was prepared to scream in the event that I saw a body. I opened it...just my crap. PHEW! Then I walk around the whole car to check for anything "funny"...just MY dirt. PHEW! Then I went back into my car and opened my glove box...which i s when I relaized I had a few things missing. Important stuff! My registration and proof of insurance! But I immediately realized it was in the passenger side door. PHEW! So what the fuck then did this bastard want?? I have no idea and I'll never know. I'm just glad I cleaned out my "gypsy wagon" last week. Otherwise, he would have had a party going thru all my shit.

So that's how my day started.

Here's how it ended...I was approached by a "big-wig" in the school board about a position that will be coming available soon. Sounds like a great opportunity and might be exactly what I've been hoping for the past few months. This position has been described as "the best of both worlds." Thats because its a position outside of the classroom but it works on the school calendar. That means I won't lose any of my off time during the holidays and summers...and I'm not confined to the rigorous classroom. That makes Uree VERY HAPPY!!! So hopefully this will all work out and Ill be a bit happier in life in the coming months.
