A sad day for humanity

Hello reader(s): I've had a pretty good time since my last post. In fact I managed to understand what Lagrange was trying to say, and to an extent I understand what Ruffini and Abel did; however I still must understand Galois Theory, it seems a lot to digest in only a few days - so perhaps I can get away with just learning key ideas without really reading all the lemmata/theorems. I still have this last chapter to write until I'm pretty much home and dry, except for an introduction and conclusion, I suppose this shouldn't consume too much of my precious time.

The perfect start to friday, I had. I rose from bed before the sun rose from its, and I reached my department before 10am, and proceeded with my work. I then went to leave at 12.30pm, only to discover my bicycle had been stolen. :( The culprit had cut right through my lock (a cable) and now I am bicycleless! I reported it to the security but they said it's not very likely they will be able to retrieve, and since I don't have insurance I can't claim on it and so I'm out of a lot of money. I demanded they hunt the evildoer down then amputate his hands, but they were not interested! I will report this incident to the police today, although I doubt they will achieve much; they will be too busy involved with real crimes - like handing out parking tickets or lynching minorities, damn them!

Anyway, this is why my day somewhat sucked. My faith in humanity has all but disappeared. I know this person will eventually get what's coming to them, but until then let him/her enjoy the bicycle!
