Baby Kills Sister, 4, in Washing Machine

Baby Kills Sister, 4, in Washing Machine

This story is so tragic but it makes me wonder…

I’m pretty sure a 15 month old baby has no idea of what just happened.  But, how do you explain it when they get older?  Can you imagine what would happen to that little boy who accidently killed his sister?  It just doesn’t seem like there is anyway that this situation will ever end up okay.  How would he feel if he found out that when he was just a baby, that he accidently killed his sister?  Do you not tell him?  Just pretend that the sister never existed.  Of course that wouldn’t happen.  What a tragic story…  So sad.

Fails from Today

1)  At lunch, the person taking my order called me sir and then attempted to read my name off the credit card..whatever she said was not even remotely close nor was it understandable.

2)  In the office, someone did not act very professional, saying things that are inappropriate.

3)  At the doctor, if you are waiting to get lab work done, there is a fairly large sign that gives instructions on what to do.  It goes something along the lines of:

Draw a ticket with duplicate numbers attached.

Tear in half and apply one end of the ticket to your insurance card and place it on the tray around the corner.  Keep the other half.

Sit down and wait for your number to be shown on the screen.

Come to the lab.

This girl failed to read the sign.  She just drew the number and sat down.  Her name will never be called because she never submitted the other side of the number to the tray for the nurses.

Fail.

I Won Something!

Ok, its nothing big or anything but still cool.  At work on Friday, the company had a super bowl lunch (aka free lunch), I’m guessing to boost company morale after the layoffs last week.  Anyway, they had 2 games.  For the first game, everyone got a piece of paper with a list of words all scrambled up.  You had to unscramble the most in 3 minutes.  I was sitting at a table where all these people were helping each other.  They were stuck on a bunch, so I told them the answer, then I needed 2, so they told me.  We filled out the whole sheet.  The second game was a word search – find as many words as you can in 3 minutes.

An hour or so after lunch, the people in charge of the games came by my desk and said there was a tie so I had to draw a number – closest to 10 wins.  I drew a 6 or a 9.  Apparently, someone else also drew a 6 or a 9.  They couldn’t tell.  So we had to redraw.  So they left and I had to wait to see if I won.

They took a really long time and I finally saw them nearby and shouted out, “did I win?”  Someone was like no.  Then they had walked behind some file cabinets and I couldn’t see them.  Next thing you know, they all come running at me while blowing a whistle and throwing confetti all over me and my desk.  It turns out that I won both!!!  SWEET!!

I won two gift cards.  One to chilis and one to tgif.  Immediately, people on my team are like, “are you taking us out to lunch next week?”  Then I get a call from one of the people at my table during the game and they said the same thing.  I was kinda confused.  I didn’t know what to do.  Had they won it, I wouldn’t have expected them to share it with me.  After all, I won it by drawing the numbers.  Anyway, I felt so awkward and guilty that I went over to them and was like, here you can split it amongst yourselves.  It was okay since I won 2 cards.  Then they were like, no we’re just kidding, blah blah blah, we don’t want to guilt trip you…blah blah blah.  Whatever.  So I was like, no take it.  Then she was like, ok we’ll all go together.  Ok, $25 is not going to feed 4 people.  Sigh.

Oh well, I still won!  Hooray!
