St.Louis

So Friday was probably the worst day of my life. We had planned a trip to STL to see two cardinals games for the weekend and stay in a hotel downtown. Before we left Friday afternoon, work informed me I was laid off, they were closing the whole shop, so now I'm unemployed... I am currently looking for any job in Springfield, especially something full time but until than I have a few weeks off... I am going to go stay with my mom and help her move into her new house and go see my friend Hannah that is getting ready to have a baby.
Since we had already bought tickets to the games and had booked a hotel room we went to STL. I was looking forward to a weekend away from Springfield. So we checked into our hotel in downtown St Louis and went into our hotel around 4:30 in the afternoon, we were leaving our hotel room around 5 to go grab some dinner before the game. As we were walking out of the hotel I noticed that the back window on Blake's car had been busted out. YES AT 4:30 IN THE AFTERNOON!! So we looked around and realized that the GPS had been stolen off the dash. We went inside and called the cops and spent about 2 hours with the cops getting evidence taken and filing a report. FYI: Real life cops are nothing like CSI. Their was a man sitting in his taxi 2 parking spots away from Blake's car and said he saw a "black man get out of his silver old cadillac and go over to the car, but just assumed it was his car, he didn't hear the window break or the man try to get into the car, just heard the alarm go off and assumed it was his car and he was getting some stuff out of it" n/m the fact that the taxi driver failed to ever look over at the car again to see that the window was busted out. He didn't get any more information about the man and the cop didn't seem to care. The Crime Scenes guy showed up and got some prints, that was just like CSI with the finger print dust and sticky tape. However their were no pictures taken and very little information taken down, obviously they didn't expect to ever catch the guy who stole the GPS. So we finally got it all fixed, well the window at least. Blake will be taking his car to the shop this week to get all the scratches, fixed on the inside and outside but so far just the window replacement was $318, good thing he has a $250 deductible. Just makes me angry at myself for not remembering to grab the GPS, scared that someone would be willing to steal a $200 GPS out of a car in broad daylight with a taxi driver just one spot over, and disapointed at how worthless the STL PD seems to be.

off to go job hunt!
