So, I'm running late to work today because I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep.
And when I call in to say I'll be about ten minutes late, I find that my supervisor's husband had a heart attack over the weekend (he's okay, or as okay as can be expected - he's coming home from the hospital today).
And when I get here, I find that another co-worker's house was robbed over the weekend. Whoever did it had to have known the family, and (more to the point), known their large dog, who didn't stop the robbers. They took a PS2, Xbox 360 (left the Wii - guess they're not Nintendo fans), laptop, Blackberry, and... some guns and ammo. So, as a favor to my co-worker, I took a look at what Texas law has to say about that... currently it looks like it's a "State Jail Felony" (Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 31.03), punished by 180 days to 2 years in State Jail (Tex. Penal Code Ann. §12.35). Except... they burgled a habitation, which makes it a 2nd degree felony, punished by 2 to 10 in the "institutional division" (See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 30.02, and Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 12.33). Which sounds a lot scarier than "State Jail". And they're referred to that way in the statutes. Stupid kids.
And that's not all. Turns out that another co-worker who had a mole removed a couple weeks ago just found out it was cancerous.
Makes my life look like berries and cream, I must say.
