Scary

Nov 07, 2006 21:12

I just read a disturbing story in the paper that I really wish I didn't read. A murderer from New York was found in Orange walking in front of the DD on the Post Road. He abandoned the car that he stole from the guy he murdered right in front of Peck Place School. Peck Place is right down the street from the Post Road. Anyway, the reason why this story hit me was because I go to Peck Place to do my fieldwork. As I was reading the article all I could think about was the safety of my kids. I guess this occured late Saturday night and the police searched the school to make sure it was safe for the kids when they would return on Monday. I went there on Monday and nothing was said to me about it. I know that everything is fine because he was caught but I don't know...it's really scary to think how he was right there at that school where my kids go. I would never want them to be in danger...I care for them deeply. I hardly know these kids and yet they mean the world to me. I had tears in my eyes and everything...I'm such a caring person. Just three weeks ago the school had a lock down and the kids asked the teacher what would happen if a bad man was outside the school and the teacher told them that nothing would happen to them. Three weeks later there was a bad man outside their school...how fucking ironic!!! I hope the kids don't know about this.

One of my managers from work was transferred to a different Brooks. She didn't even have a one day notice...they came in and told her that this would be her last day working in Northford cos she was being transferred to Wallingford. She didn't want this and how the fuck can you just do that to someone? I'm so pissed off at the shit that goes on in this world. She is an elderly woman, caring as can be and extremely helpful and patient. She's a breast cancer survivor and has undergone many surgeries and yet she always comes back and works for this company. I used to call her house sometimes when I had questions when I first became a Supervisor and she always helped me out. So she was upset yesterday and was crying and I had to be there to see this and it hurt me so fucking much. I bought a card and had everyone that was working sign it. She couldn't even say goodbye because it was too hard.

I care about others more than I care about myself. I think more people need to start caring about others for once. Why are people so fucking shallow...I don't understand it.
