Oh, damn, damn, damn, ita. Guh. My stomach just knotted up for you.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The trunk of the car is not obscured from view, which I discovered yesterday as I *tried* to put my laptop into it, but I was distracted when I got out of my car when I got home--my arms were full up with groceries, and I forgot to go back down for the laptop.
Not until I was about to go to the movies this morning did I even think about it.
There's so much irreplacable information on that thing. No, backing up PCs is not company policy, and I hadn't "gotten around" to archiving and backing up my locally saved emails yet, despite just having discussed it with the security team, since I found out it was a necessity just a few weeks ago.
Police report made, now on hold with insurance again, then back to Enterprise to get a different $70/day car, and then try to work out if I know the work help desk number to report it.

Oh ita, I am so sorry.

Ha. I'm just trying to act like a grownup and not cry in front of people, but I am also just realising that the exorbitant insurance premium I pay doesn't cover items in the car, but at least I know my policy covers rentals. So I'm probably liable to work for the cost of the thing too.

If you have homeowners/renters insurance, it generally covers items stolen from your car.

No, I have no renters insurance. That's much too organised for the level at which I operate.
And Enterprise was all "Well, we close at noon, so bye." Thanks, guys. We were getting along *so* well.

Thanks, guys.
I'm really not coping very well. I have no clear idea of how I'm getting the car back, but at least I have something in place to get another car. From another company. Which is not cheaper, but they are not being dicks right now, so they win.
I just don't know how to do all of this. I really don't. I can't deal with fucking this up right now.
