Life or death situation
Well I'm posting here at Hampton and it's about 1a.m. I had a whole bunch of police here looking for someone that was staying here. Usually these things just revolve around them talking to the person about what happened that made them end up staying at the hotel, nothing too serious. Well, tonight was a different matter. First there were 3 Janesville P.D. then about 2 more, then 2 Rock County Sherriff's. So I knew something was up. One of the sheriffs asked for a key because the man appearantly wouldn't let them in. A few minutes later a very distressed man came in and asked "What are all the cops doing here?", I said "They're just looking for someone." The man said "That's my dad." I told him they were on the second floor, which I probably shouldn't have but his face was that of just sheer horror, like something terrible was going to happen. There's only bits and pieces of what I could gather, mostly from the son on his cell phone. Appearantly his father wrote a suicide note and was going here to finish the job. The son just wanted to see his dad but his dad said no which made me have to choke back some emotion because it brought a flashback in my mind of when I was talking to social workers when they asked me if I wanted to talk to my mother after my sister called social services when I was young. I said "No." I think the dad was just so embarrased that he couldn't face him like this. The son said "Can you pass on a message? Tell him I love him." So sad, I don't know even know why the man was contemplating it but I still really feel for the son, even more so than the man who was going to take his own life. I just got the keys from the sons who cleared the room out. I have the chills right now. Before this, Mayra, our new employee was just whining and whining about every little problem in her life. I actually felt a real problem tonight. Something that stops everything. You can't do anything but focus all your attention on this problem. The relief in the sons voice when they found him was just remarkable. So many trivial problems effect our lives that when something like this happens all you can do is just laugh at them. It's like everyday for your life you have a cut on your finger, then one day you lose your arm. The cuts just a cut. I don't know all that much about life but I can empathize for people that are going through real tradgedy. Well I just thought I would write this while it's fresh in my mind so I will be off to do some more work. Hopefully Mayra will be in in the morning. I will talk to you all later.

I love lamp
Let me start off by saying I haven't been sleeping lately. I don't know why I can't sleep more than 4 hours a day. Oh well, being tired is extremely fun and easy to do. I don't know if anyone reads this blog anymore but I'm okay with that. Ian called me up today and invited me to play so croquet with him and others. It was pretty fun but I got massively cold and tired. I am supposed to go see Mel Field in Madison next weekend when her friend from out of town is visiting for the weekend. When I get another job I've decided that it cannot be third shift because I'm pretty sure it's the hours that turns my life into a living hell. I used to have a life before I worked 3rd shift but when I started up again it changed again. Maybe it's just coincidental but I'm come to realize that most of the things that happen to me are not. Another thing I must get off my chest is that I think women are very weird. Like, all of them, very strange. But, I still like them, for the most part. My warlock on World of Warcraft is level 22 now. I know it's pretty sweet. Well that is enough rambling for tonight probably. I will post again soon.

It might be fixed?
So I installed my new motherboard today (only took about 25 minutes, man I'm getting way to good at doing this shit). I think I may have fixed the problem! Hurray. I'm amazing. That's all I wanted to say.

P.S. - Who needs a life when you can play World of Warcraft :O

Okay not my fault. Random act of God
Alright, so let me start off by saying that it wasn't my fault for the most part. I was coming home from work this morning after doing laundry there that night. I was taking my first basket into my room when all of the sudden the birds started flying around the room. Agatha flew right out of my bedroom door. When I went after her I saw that the front door had blown open since I don't have a handle on it. She bolted out of the house and was gone from view in a matter of seconds. Fredrick is still here and has been quiet all day since Agatha has been gone. I felt really bad when I was telling shanna about the incident. The ironic thing was that me and Shanna always talked about letting her got the first day it got warm. We were joking but it's weird how it just happened. Anyways, I haven't really heard from anybody lately. It seems as everyone decided to drop off the face of the planet, oh well. I've been exhausted from work the past few nights because the people there are crazy. Anyways that's about all for now I think I'm going to nap for a few hours before work. Later everyone.
