My attempt to sleep last night was met with failure due to some aches and pains. I only managed to sleep between moments when the painkillers did their dirty work. So for my first day back I was already exhausted.
Then afternoon hits and while I’m on my first break I heard there was an accident in our parking lot (and later on I heard it was on the crosswalk in front of the store so I’m not sure which location it happened in). Apparently a pedestrian got hit by a car, and from the sound of it the person in the car didn’t even stop because they really wanted that parking space. To make matters worse they blamed the pedestrian for not moving fast enough… An ambulance arrived on scene to take the poor guy away, but it was too late. We got a call back stating that he didn’t even make it to the hospital, he died not long after the accident. If all of this is true then this is downright manslaughter and hopefully this asshat gets their just desserts. It’s pretty sad that some people value a parking space or an object over the life of a living person. How we’ve fallen as a society.
Then I passed an asshole I didn’t really want to talk to (not to me but to people I do care about). But on the brightside I got off work early, but I couldn’t call home because our answer machine wasn’t working. So I ended up cruising the web waiting for a ride. I would have walked but it was pissing down rain and I didn’t want my laptop to get wet.
The first thing I did when I got home was jump into some PJ’s, make some berry tea and boot up Linux. I just finished eating a very bacon oriented dinner and now I’m contemplating some rest to make up for what I lacked today. Sleep away the terrible things and try to move in a more positive direction.
