ok, so im going to hell...well...i mean, maybe not, but i definitely called in to work this morning... maybe it was the rain, maybe it was the warmth of my bed, maybe because im tired of getting up at 6am every morning, and having to be the first to go to bed every night. booo- so f-off shaws! im stayin' in!!!

ok...so many people have been inquiring about what happened at work the other day...and since this will be easier than telling it a bunch of times...ill just go into all the ugly details now...

i had to be at work at 7 (what a surprise :P) and it was me, my manager, assistant manager, and this kid aaron. were all working, and by the time it was around 7:45ish, aaron and i had both discovered our sprinklers werent working on the walls for the vegetables. so we both had told our manager that he needs to go check on the switch or whatever, which happens to be in the seafood dept. the next thing i know, aaron and bob were running over to the seafood, screaming, "Paul! Paul!" and i look over, wondering what the heck is going on, and i see bobs hands covered in blood, so im like "whoa, paul must have cut himself really badly and fainted." but it turned out that he had a massive heartattack and fell to the ground so hard that his head was bleeding...and the scrary thing is that i guess he died pretty much right away, they were thinking, but he was laying there like, atleast 15/20 minutes before any of us realized that he was dead. so the dept. heads come running over, everyones trying to resuscitate (sp?) him, performing CPR, doing all this stuff, until the paramedics came, and worked on him for like 20 minutes atleast, and finally whisked him away to the hospital...we got the call not half an hour later that he didnt make it. its so sad, his wife isnt doing well, and he has a young daughter...makes me feel really sorry for the family.
but yeah, i was realy freaked out for the rest of the shift, everyone was kinda in a daze...such a shitty thing to happen. and to die in shaws, to die at work... crappy work. its fucking insane.
so with that. fuck work today. they need me more than i need them :P and if i get fired, which they wouldnt...BUt if they did, i say, ":fuck it, because i have a full life ahead of me, and losing a job at some grocery store is not going to be the end of the world.

i love you, friends, please take care of yourselves.
