Broken Window Vue

It was one of those good days that you just knew was too good to be true... and as such, this is what I found when I got in my car after work today. The rest of the day, as you might imagine, was substantially less good.



This is a completely unexpected turn of events, as I work on a military base. While crimes do certainly happen on the base, it seems less frequent than out in the general population. It was certainly MY first direct encounter with a crime in my 13 years of working at this base, and in my 30+ years of living/working/accessing bases as a former military brat.

I did call security forces to file a report, not that there's anything they can do at this point. It's worth noting that there was an empty parking spot, 3 down from me, with a pile of glass in it, implying that this happened to someone else today, too.


Update, 7 April
A trying day of attempted recovery. Or should I say "recovery FAIL". After missing 75 minutes of work this morning waiting at a couple different places that couldn't get the right window to replace mine today, I found a mobile company that would come to my residence to do it. So I left work 45 minutes early to meet them, but an hour later, I am no further along. The box my window came in was mislabeled (it was the wrong side), and so they couldn't do it after all, as the supplier where they got that window was closed. So, 120 minutes of missed work, but no fixed window. We'll be trying again tomorrow they say. So, I'll be out even more work time, AND more than $250. Gah.

Update, 8 April
Yet another day of recovery FAIL. Still unable to get a window today. I'm assured it will be tomorrow. Ugh.

Update, 9 April
FINALLY, I have a new window. Though not until nearly five. But it feels good to have that issue out of the way. And it was cheaper than expected.
