Apartment broken into last night. Television and laptop taken. Fortunately, laptop's data backed up onto cloud drive. Still, had to spend day talking to police and cleaning up broken glass. Unpleasant.

Could use distraction. Perhaps La Bohème this weekend at the LA Opera.

	I'm sorry to hear that, Professor. Some people just do not understand the meaning of personal property. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Suspect they understood meaning, just chose to disregard it. Disappointing but common. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Why didn't you call? Could have helped with the glass, at least. Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-24 01:48 am UTC (link)
	Nonsense. Know you have patients and busy schedule. Perfectly capable of handling things myself. Senseless but again, common. And easily fixed. Nothing truly of value lost. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Can you get another laptop? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-24 11:04 am UTC (link)
	Indeed. Irritating, not difficult. Will probably shop tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nemo_nobody 2012-05-24 12:11 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Anyone who can have a laptop, should. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-24 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	Agreed. Necessary for profession. Teaching and grading almost impossible without computer access. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Your answer to this is to watch an opera about people living in poverty? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hadn't really considered irony. Mostly, just enjoy music. Maybe plot will induce feelings of sympathy for thieves, rather than anger. Much healthier emotionally. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm quite impressed with your ability to let things slide off your back. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Unfortunate incidents bound to happen sometime. Best not to let them shake work ethic. Also statistically unlikely to be robbed again. Comforting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well it's good to have such a positive outlook. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-25 11:13 am UTC (link)
	Positive outlook has positive effect on work. Less likely to become frustrated. More efficient. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you ever speak in complete sentences? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-25 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	On occasion. Usually find it unnecessary. Can be understood perfectly fine without excess words. Allows faster communication of information. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_brains 2012-05-25 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	You sound like a robot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-25 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	Ridiculous. Current robotic intelligence far beyond stilted speech. Would only sound like fictional portrayals of robots, if anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_brains 2012-05-25 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	That's the comparison I was aiming for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-25 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. Possibly apt comparison, then. Fatal flaw in some fictional robots is programming for efficiency, lack of empathy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_brains 2012-05-25 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Are you lumping yourself in with them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-25 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Only in terms of efficiency in language. Believe empathy has a place in the biological world. Separates us from many other species. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_brains 2012-05-25 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	I fully agree with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hadtobeme 2012-05-25 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	Believe altruism serves evolutionary purpose as well. Helping others of species survive helps continue survival of species as whole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	the_brains 2012-05-25 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	That's certainly a logical conclusion to make. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh dear, I hope they catch whoever did it and you manage to get it back. (Reply to this)
