Well here I am, sitting at home instead of being at work today. No, I'm not sick. No, I'm not taking a personal day. I'm at home because some punk asses thought it would be a good idea to make some threats regarding what happened at Virginia Tech. In case you didn't know, I work in the accounting office at Northern Illinois University. They shut down campus today and may do so tomorrow as well.
This, coupled with what has happened recently in Omaha and Colorado Springs is just pissing me off. I try to keep faith in humanity, but stuff like doesn't help the cause. While nothing has happened here yet, I don't take kindly to threats to the family and friends.
Anyway, I guess the point of this post is just to say stay safe. I hope you all have a great holiday season, and further more I hope you don't have to deal with any of this garbage.

As someone that works in the public school system, this is something that I think about all the time.
the bottom line is this: Life is short and precious and we take every moment for granted.

A couple weeks ago, my daughter's highschool had the same crap happen. I'm getting tired of it too man. She stayed home from school for three days after a note was found in one of the boys washrooms that "In four days I'm going to start shooting!" Thankfully RCMP arrested the disturbed teenager who admitted it was a bad prank.
I'd hate to see what that's like down there were gun laws are very lax, and any and almost everyone has the ability to purchase or carry a weapon.
