Not The Best Start To The Day...

So my morning began the way it usually does, with me desperately attempting to claw a few minutes of sleep more out of my alarm. Failing that, I began the day properly, with the usual shower, shave, you know the drill. I was dragging, however: Mondays, y'know? Eventually I did leave for work, though I was running a little later than normal.

As I walked down the stairs to the parking lot, I noticed that a black SUV was parked perpendicular to the DuckMobile and directly behind it... nope, no driver visible. Swell. A few more steps down, and I realized there were two more parked in the lot... and all three were marked "County Sheriff". There were also two sheriff cars, and a white van labeled, and I kid you not, Crime Scene Investigations.

I had to find an officer and ask politely to move their ominous black SUV so I could go to work. He asked if I had heard anything strange last night, and I explained that I have five different fans running in Pond Central... I can barely hear myself think, let alone the outside world (...and that's how I like it!).

Off to work I went, walked in, sat down at my desk, started up all the various programs and pdfs and text files I use every day, opened my e-mail to see what the assignment was...

...nothing but the worst type of claim possible. All day. All stinkin' day.

I've had better mornings.

Edit: Before anybody asks, I didn't find out what was going on. It wasn't in Pond Central's part of the building, so I wasn't overly concerned. Also, once I returned home I didn't bump into any of my neighbors, one of whom I'm sure would have known. It is a puzzlement.
