Avoidance
So I've been avoiding posting this, as it is not yet "official news"...also avoiding it because I don't really want to think about it. But maybe if I release it, I will feel better.
One of the places I work at got robbed last night. It was very scary, even more so for the employees who were actually there when it happened...I was out on errand when it happened. Two employees were injured, one shot in the leg...and there were bulletholes and actually still bullets in the walls when the police finally let me back in after everybody had been interviewed. I feel really sad that my co-workers have been put in danger and one had to go to the hospital. I feel even worse that I'm so grateful I wasn't there...everybody else had to put up with much more than I, but I keep thinking...that could have been me. Odd though because I've had "training" in what to do in case of robbery for the other job, and it's almost like I would have expected it more there, but...
Now outside it's snowing and cold, and I'm scared and shaken up, and if I hadn't been so *out of it* last night I would have been inside my work when the robbery took place. Now, at my other work today, all I can think of is...is someone gonna try that here too? I hope not. Maybe later I will post more details of this, once it has hit the local papers, until then vagaries are all you get.
It makes me want to go off on a Dennis Leary rant...wtf? But I won't, since I won't have the benefit of letting those reading this actually hear my tone...which is part of what makes his comedy so amusing. But the gist is...Why? Why would they do that? How did they know which door to better use? They didn't even get that much money, and they didn't even take all the money in the store...huh? Are they really that stupid? Why did they shoot somebody over that small an amount?
But their bumbling ignorance didn't stop them from doing it, nor did it stop them from injuring my co workers, and the damage that they've done to the employees is totally irreparable. Yea ignorance and stupidity!
The darkness is getting too close.

Jesus, I know this is a generic thing to say, but I'm glad you're ok and sorry it happened at all. Life is odd the way it works. You weren't there because you weren't supposed to be. Cheesy maybe, but I think it's true.
yeah i've already realized that b/c i wasn't there b/c i had previously given all the wrong food to all the wrong people, had to have it remade...and while I was delivering the remakes, was when it happened. and i never give out the wrong food to people or even leave food at the shop. it was very bizarre.
