2007-01-06 - 9:47 p.m. It's a good thing one of my New Year's resolutions wasn't to blog more frequently, because I sure would have blown that one by now. I went to work today. I'd only been back a couple of days when I could clearly see the overtime looming on the horizon. I'm so behind already that I can't stand it. Anyway, I parked my rental car in a parking lot down in the river valley that I use when I don't want to walk so far to work. It was not the parking lot my van was stolen from, but has similar characteristics in that it is big and empty and (on weekends) un-frequented. It was the only car there. I walked away; I climbed the stairs; I stood at the top looking down on the lonely car in the big, empty parking lot and tried to convince myself that it would be all right; I walked about a block; the anxiety became too much for me and I turned around, walked back to my car and brought it up much closer to work in some 2 hour on the street parking. Is this how it's going to be now? That every time I leave my vehicle I will be completely anxious that it won't be there on my return? This sucks. My van has got to the body shop finally so it shouldn't be that much longer until I get it back. It will probably be another 10 days - 2 weeks and that's fast. Most body shops are so backed up because of the labour shortage that people are waiting months to get their vehicles repaired. I've got to go to bed. I'm so tired again already after only a week of work.
