I am still hurting...
about the shooting spree at the pharmacy. It wasn*t so much of a spree as a hunt down. He, the shooter More later. Too upset. *SD
By the way...
Some good advice for all... regardless of what you do in life.
From the lab manager and technician at the campus: Finals are coming up in 6 weeks. Budget your time accordingly. ... 'Wow, where did the semester go?', he asked. Tuesday, June the 8th is the day this lab will be closed for summer, he told me. That is tentative. There is a chance it will remain open for just a bit longer. I will enjoy my time here. -SD

Feeling better, though I am still upset over the information in my previous post below.
I just sent a message off for the local Assemblyman. I hope we, the committee, get what we ask for. I also had contacted Dasher Lawless, something I have written of here, before. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the details of his project, very pleasantly surprised. I contacted him, his office, to be fair, though I was originally opposed to his plan of construction... and destruction. I will give you updates on this after each meeting I attend. Something I was told of reminded me of JonBenet and the Pearl Street Mall. How appropriate, since she is one of the people this site is dedicated to. I will watch DollHouse tonight, with a close friend. That should cheer me up, with respect to the tragedy posted below. Have a nice night, y'all. -SD

Our Condolences
I had 2 news stories planned for posting. However, I won*t be posting them today. I was in tears a bit ago, for I had gotten word that my one time pharmacist, that I used to have before I moved, had been shot in a fatal shooting spree that killed 2 before the gunman, a fellow co-worker to the victims, turned the gun on himself, fatally wounding him. Another co-worker was so appreciative that I called to give my condolences. She emotionally showed that appreciation to me, more than once, and something struck me. I got the impression that not a lot of people had called for that. I know that when I called the hospital to be routed to the pharmacy in order to share the condolences, the operator asked my name 3 times and then, after I urgently stated I wanted to see if everyone was o.k., the operator said, "Well you should know if you heard the news!", and then transferred me to the marketing department! The outgoing message\menu at that extension stated "... if you are media press... ". I hung up and immediately called the operator back. When, finally, someone answered, it sounded like the same voice. I said, "Hi. This is .... I was routed to Marketing and Media, and I wanted the pharmacy." This voice immediately responded with, "Did you want Outpatient or?" I quickly said, "Yes!" You see, the first voice, with the unknown face, near interrogated me when I called with a condolent heart. I was grateful to finally get through. There was definitely a feeling of high security floating through the air. Now, this story is full of twists and plots, from this end. It*s all over the news. I must finish my new story later and compose myself from what I later heard. I*ll just leave it at this for now, the same sentiment was shared about one of the people that died by a woman quickly interviewed on the news: He was such a nice man. He would make people smile. He was kind, patient. Yes, that*s how I feel. My sadness extends to the children and wives left behind this tragic event. Thank God they were "left behind", and not taken on the journey that leads to the afterlife, before their time. *Respectfully submitted by SDRoads
