Seriously people...STOP LEAVING LAPTOPS, PURSES AND EXPENSIVE STUFF IN YOUR CARS!!!

Common sense is obviously not common around here. I still can't get over how many stupid people there are in this city.

I dont get it either. I dont leave anything more valuable than paper maps, pencils/pens and empty fast food wrappers in my car. If I am on my way home and have my laptop with me but need to stop by the store on the way home I just carry the laptop bag into the store with me.

Unfortunately the stupidity is not limited to Tracy. A coworker of mine who lives in sf, who will never be on one of my projects again, lefts his laptop in his car on an sf street and lost 6 months of valuable R&D work. It probably ccost 1 to 2the million in lost revenue due to a delayed product launch due to his idiocy.

Oh my gosh. That made me run to the fridge for beers. As a boy during the 1950s I'd get a cold,mom would call the doctor. He'd show up at our house,open his black bag,whip out a syringe and stab my butt with a shot of penicillin. Now at age 66 my doctor orders a blood test for me. Six months later I still hav'nt had the blood test. I'd rather run nekked thru a police station than get a blood test. I don't ever have to worry about becomming a heroin addict as needles scare the beejezzus out of me. And then I read this. Am on the forth beer now trying to get the vision out of my mind.
