The Joys Of Working At Home

[fj]

pinkfish just called: seems someone was trying to jiggle and wriggle and remove one of the big windows of the bedroom of our ground floor condo, in order to break in. Of course, if this person removed the window, he's still have to deal with the security grate, but ok. So pinkfish has been asked by the police to come identify the suspect they caught based on his description, and he called me for a reality check: was this a smart thing to do? I suggested to ask the police officer to be allowed to id the suspect while anonymous, but pinkfish said: "Well, he knows where we live."
-- "Knowing where you live and knowing your face are two different things."
"He saw my face. I walked into the bedrooom and he was like 'Oh. Sorry man. Yeah, sorry about this.' He was trying to act like this was normal."
-- "Well, in that case, you aren't adding anything by id'ing him."
"Yes. Officers are here, gotta go, bye."

I am so amused by the surreality of walking into your bedroom and seeing someone trying to act normal about trying to take out you windows. Oh yeah, sorry about that. Huh. Whaddayaknow, someone lives here, huh?

The sick tree that creates an illusion of cover right outside that bedroom window has to go. This month.

Dino just called, the person they apprehended wasn't the perp. The BPD has now accosted a man for the crime of looking hispanic and wearing a black shirt in a neighbourhood where a hispanic looking man in a black shirt tried to break in.
