the world is weird
Dec. 2nd, 2017 08:21 amI feel weird and I don't know how to properly explain it. I know why I feel weird but that's about it.
I found out yesterday that a former coworker of mine that I really liked died unexpectedly. No one even seems to know how he died. :/ This isn't the first time a former coworker has passed away (though I think it's only the second that I'm aware of), but the first had been having health issues for years. To my knowledge Ross had not. When I first read a FB comment referencing his death, I thought they were kidding and went to check his FB, sure there'd be some in joke that I didn't get. Nope. A sudden flurry of messages, one of which was from his mother, confirmed it.
And it's weirding me out that he was seven years younger than me and died so suddenly.
Throw in Mom's surgery Monday and me doing my best to just Not Think About It because it's No Big Deal (unless it is) ( *meep* ) and my brain is just focusing very hard on the strangest things. Like looking up the expiration dates on cigarettes after I sort of but not really got fussed at for daring to stock the cigs with the promo packs that just came in. Gasp! Yeah, no, guys. The ones we should be chucking in the nearest bin aren't the Newports (at least not those Newports) but hey. Don't mind me, I'm just the person who bothered to look up the info. :P
See? Petty shit like that is where my brain is currently residing.
And vaguely related, in that it makes my brain scream no more!, I don't get how people can follow anything vaguely political these days without losing their minds. It's just a never ending stream of whaaaaaaaat the fuuuuuuuuu...dge.
