I think it might be time to get out of teaching.

Yeah, I just saw that and thought of you -- scary stuff! :(

aibhinn February 27 2010, 04:33:22 UTC

:( Yeah. Not too far from me--about half an hour or forty minutes across town.

that really didn't have anything to do with teaching.

It was a crazy stalker who was obsessed with her; could have happened anywhere.

So very sad.

Yeah, I know, but as I said to others, the phrase "teacher shot in school parking lot" sets all the internal alarm bells ringing, no matter what the real story was.

That is so scary! *HUGS*

aibhinn February 27 2010, 04:34:22 UTC

*hugs* Thank you, sweetie. :)

PHEW. I saw a snip of this on the news as I was passing a TV, and was like "HOSHIT, THAT HAD BETTER NOT BE AIBHINN."

aibhinn February 27 2010, 04:34:52 UTC

:) No, not me, nor my district, thank God. But just across town. *shudder*

The sad thing is, I realized after I posted that that I still have your number in my mobile. I could have just called all "PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE NOT DEAD."

*facepalm*

LOL! Yes. Yes, you could.

For future categorization reference, I teach junior high/middle school math, so if a news report is talking about any other type of teacher, chances are I'm safe. :)

(Thanks for being concerned, though! ♥)
