My sleep was ruined last night.  I was awake often for no reason at all (thankfully my neighbors weren’t having a sex-fest like the previous night, which honestly grossed me out).  What kept coming to my mind was that I work doubles today and that some asshole hit my car and left–without leaving a note or anything.

Yesterday afternoon was great.  I left work realizing that I seriously like the coworkers at this job more than I’ve ever liked any other set of coworkers.  I had grocery shopping plans and figured I’d stop at the bank and get rid of several small pay checks I had.  I stood in line for 20 minutes to deposit 29 measly dollars.  When I get back out to my car it has a large dent in the side.  No note, nothing.  No one came up to me either.

I feel like anyone would be deeply pissed about a situation like this.  But pair this with the fact that just a few weeks ago we dumped several hundred dollars into fixing this car after an incident (which I was at fault in), and it was enough to make me so angry that I was near tears (yes, I’m overly emotional… I guess…).  I’ve had this car for only a few months.  It’s brand fucking new.  For all of my years of driving, I was cruising around in an ancient Volvo tank (god, I really miss that car sometimes) and didn’t have shit happen.  I get a new, perfect car and suddenly I have a target on my back, or my car does.  What is this???

Some kind of twisted karma?  Is some greater being laughing at my exasperation?  I highly doubt it but what coincidence.  I wonder if that person even thought about leaving a note.  Or thought about the fact that that car is probably paid for with someones hard-earned money.  Or that they were ruining someones day (which, for me, turned into ruining a night of peaceful sleep as well).  Never be the person who does this to someone.

The police officer I talked to said it was highly unlikely they would find out who did it.  Sometimes people (witnesses) will call in or leave a note with a business where they saw something like this happen, but probably no one saw anything (his thoughts… I kind of think perhaps someone saw and couldn’t give two fucks).  All I got from the whole conversation was amazement that a police officer is more optimistic than I am.
