Yikes, what a senseless thing.

, I've never seen anything that would lead me to believe he was violent. In fact, he's rather well known in local politics as a staunch gun control advocate!

Oddly enough, sometimes a person will do something like this to "make a point". They will "make a sacrifice" in order to push their agenda. Perhaps that was his reason, or perhaps he's just crazy.

Quidam, that thought had occurred to me. I have no doubt that he's been losing his grip the past couple of years (he actually appears to have taken both sides of the gun control debate, based on various internet postings) but his long time political activist stance make me wonder if he saw himself somehow making a statement. That wouldn't entirely surprise me, although it's still way more extreme than anything I could've imagined.

It's almost as if all the toxins, physical and spiritual, that people have been dumping into the world for the last 200 years or so are all finally hitting critical mass.

I kind of have to agree with VV on this. After the -seven- bomb threats and evacuations Pitt recevied yesterday, our total is now up to 19 threats and evacuations in the last two months. It keeps escalating. There are some classes who are still rescheduling their midterms because of all this and finals should be in like two and half weeks. I'm lucky my office hasn't been evacuated yet but the threats are starting to go to smaller buildings now too so we'll see.

I'm ready to scream, or cry, or bash my head on a hard surface repeatedly. I've had to work with this one dumbass of a guy repeatedly... He's annoying, hyper, and...offensive. I'm all for being politically incorrect, but there is a time and place for it, and the workplace is not the one. But that's minor. I can deal with it. I only have a few more days really, before I get to tell them to go screw themselves.

No the big problem is that I was told something, and now I have no idea if I'm getting paid. I was informed that they now have a computer program keeping track of our shifts (which honestly, no idea why that hadn't been implemented long ago....this IS the age of technology) and we didn't need paper time cards anymore. But now I'm hearing that I was supposed to turn my paper in after all, and I'm like.... wtf? So I have no idea if I'm actually getting paid tomorrow or not, I have next to no gas in my car, definitely not enough to drive 30 miles each way to get to my location, and don't have enough to pay $5.25 in tolls. I haven't been able to afford to go to those unpaid meetings this week, so I have no effing clue what's going on.

Then, I was given my schedule for this campaign, and thought that I was off tomorrow and Saturday, because the Big Boss said Friday and Saturday were for the top sellers because of Easter, so I had thought that the schedule was complete for this week. Turns out it wasn't.

I am just majorly frustrated right now.

And before I hit submit, I got a call from one of my leads, after trying to text him for the better part of 45 minutes to get an answer, finally clearing up that while no, the schedule wasn't finished, I'm still off tomorrow and Saturday, and Sunday as well, because of Easter. While I want to breath a sigh of relief, because I don't have to stress getting to work, it also means my last check with them might not be enough to carry me through until the new job starts paying me. Still not sure about the paycheck situation, but he said I SHOULD have a check. I'm supposed to call him at noon to see if it's there.

Meh, what a load of crap, I hope it all turns out alright *hugs*

[OkamiKodomo]

On the plus side, my check DID make it. On the downside, they called me in at the last minute for a shift tonight. Again, mixed feelings, because from the office, it's an even longer drive, but I do want to maximize my last paycheck.

EDIT: omg and they shorted me half my check, and one of the managers, that I've NEVER DONE A THING TO, has been talking shit about me to the big boss. I am just so glad I'm almost done with this shit.

FYI. Urinary tract infections suck.

Thought things were going better with my grandma, but apparently she has been slowly bleeding in her brain since the stroke last weekend, and my parents had me come up to Minnesota, so I don't think things are going to end up well. I'm going to be missing work and school for a week at least most likely. And the doctors said we should all say our final farewells. She pretty much raised me since my parents were working all the time. So this all has been very hard for me. Plus I had to go to MN by myself since my boyfriend couldn't get out of work like I could. Funny fact: I didn't know I had it in my to drive 9 hours straight from my house to my parents, amazing what you can do when driven by grief.

[Evelien]

Oh Almy . That doesn't sound too good. I am so sorry You and your grandmother are in my thoughts.
