Still reeling from the shocking theft of my Asus laptop and my beloved Steam Deck. Its crazy to think you work so hard to have the things in life that make you happy and theres some clown out there just waiting to try and take it from you. Maybe it has something to do with maturity or something but lately when bad things happen I just look around and see things to remind me my life is actually wonderful in so many ways. Things going on in the world. Other things...terrible things others are having to deal with. You know what they say...things could always be or could have been worse. Also no matter how bad things sem in your life someone else has it worse. Its not exactly hard to notice this if one opens their eyes. Someone at work confided in me earlier when I was feeling kinda down over my stolen stuff and also trying to process how cruel and non caring one of my supervisors reacted when I mentioned the theft. This person confided in me that they literally lost everything after a nasty business related venture. This person reminded me that I need to be grateful for what I have and just bask in the knowledge I can easily replace those items. Its pretty hard to replace a lost once lavish lifestyle...
It is really strange how no one else even seemed to know what happened but at least my big boss sent me an email saying she would see if she could help. I was of the mind someone walked into the building while the desk was unattended around 11:00pm but my supervisor viewed the tapes and he didn't see anyone enter with dudes description between 9pm and 11pm so homeboy was probably inside the building from much earlier in the day. The other possibility is that they entered the building from somewhere theres a camera blind spot. Maybe even a window somewhere on the property. (The maintenance crew seem to know SOMETHING but its not always easy to communicate as most don't speak english. A couple of them spoke to me and seemed to indicate that security at the desk wasn't looking at the cameras and possibly a homeless person entered the facility and went undetected, Possibly unreported? I get the idea people might not wanna talk either because they don't wish to get involved or perhaps get someone in trouble) I work with some cool people but some of them despite being cool people are not the easiest people to work with because of work ethics and I'm not saying I'm a perfect worker. But it does bother me that some people are too relaxed. Leaving the parking gate open and not really watching the cameras is a potentially dangerous thing to do in this crazy world we live in especially when ALOT of folks do not like the lgbt community. People have managed to enter the building before. Some homeless people do try to come in. Some have managed to sneak in off the street. I worry sometimes (about all these crazy shootings going on around the country especially) and this is playing a big part in my decision to leave that job once I have saved up a certain amount of moolah. Security (especially where we work and in that area) is not the type of job one can be nonchalant in. I just don't think its a good idea to ever let yourself get too comfortable. Sometimes its a good thing to be paranoid. Suck though that the actions of an idiot have managed to disrupt my work environment. In time it won't hurt so much but lesson learned. Just like my co-worker said that place is like my house but I share that house with many other entities and some of those entities are not nice entities plus you got sneaky entities that try to wreck your shit so I guess in some ways I was the very thing I accused others there of being...too damn cozy.
Anyway I purchased the tickets for me and Mr. Ninja to go to Universal this weekend. Its gonna be nice. I'm so looking forward to the new Nintendo attraction. Its expensive this weekend too because of Mothers Day. $144 as opposed to usually the price being $124. I sent my mother a cool "Momzilla" shirt which should arrive today. (Just hope i got her size right) I had to call Mr. Ninja because I wasn't quite sure what his last name is. He's so mysterious and low profile. I actually knew it but wasn't sure on the spelling. After getting off the phone it slipped my mind again but a quick google search actually helped me find the right spelling from an article written that featured him. I was planning to maybe get a hotel afterward but I'm gonna have to cut back, maybe push that idea to later, since the stolen items need to be replaced. Theres another new handheld system coming out next month that stomps the Steam Deck in important areas and the temptation is gonna be there for me to get one but I think its a spiritual need in me to replace what was taken from me. I've felt a strong urge to replace stuff stolen from me before. Like the Disney mug I got in NY years ago and someone stole it after I left it in the microwave. I always suspected a co-worker who doesn't work there anymore at the center. When my stuff was stolen in Detroit I hurried up and replaced it. Don't really need to be in a hurry. Patience is a good virtue to have. Mr. Ninja wants to go around noon and I think we need to talk about that as by then the place will likely start to be crowded. Already got the wardrobe figured out. Ordered a few things. Green sneakers and a green jogging suit. Temperature is supposed to be mid 70's this weekend plus it will get cooler later. We will be getting plenty of water splashed on us too probably so long sleeves and pants is the right way to go. Still gotta look for the small fanny bag type body sling thing because I wanna bring a camera. Hopefully the bag is not too big because they make you take it off for rides if its over a certain size. The only thing to think about now is where will we go to break bread as well as how late we plan to stay. Don't really think I wanna do all day till night but time tends to fly by so quickly in that place. So what to say if he invites me over his place afterwards? That too is something to mull over. At any rate I need to break out of this funk clouding my mind. Its just that sometimes in life something insane happens before you have even fully recovered from an earlier insane event. Whats even worse is when the insanity stacks up. Sometimes it feels like someone is trying to break me with all this shit.
