Ok, I have to say something.  I think just because I have gone so long and not said anything.  Im a very cautious so I tend to be reserved on the whom I let into and out of my life.  I believe that has more to do with my father and the abandonment issues I feel from him-but that is a whole other blog post.
you know, you never know what people are going to do-human nature is so temper mental.  I have worked at my current job for almost a year now and just recently we obtain a new General Manager.  Having the same manager after the previous one was employed at the site for 8 yrs makes the change a bit drastic for even some of the strongest of our veteran employees.  To make a long story short, people were fired and people were hired. ( I am thanking god everyday I haven't been one of the ones to be fired). I have worked beside a 42 yr old women for some time now-actually since I started). She was (we will call her Miss Sharon) not the fastest employee we had, I could probably say she was the slowest.  She was not nice and was down right messy when it came to gossip and keeping some professionalism about her.  However, Miss Sharon let me use her bike to get back and forth to work once she got her a car with her tax return last year.  She never wanted to charge me for anything at work and was very giving with the companies services.  Miss Sharon was an old crabby woman-but i liked her and we got along pretty well.  So of course it was saddening to she was fired from the company without any severance or vacation pay.  Miss Sharon also wouldn't be able to claim unemployment based on the the grounds of termination.  I know things had to be rough. Miss Sharon has been married for the last twenty years to the same cheating man.  Despite all that I know about Miss Sharon and everything that I personally know she has gone through, it was still a great shock to go into work two days ago and hear Miss Sharon robbed our place of employment (well, my place-her former place)-at gun point.  Yeah, shocker to me also. It is all over the news and I even got a copy of the internet article printed out.  Whenever I think about Miss Sharon now I think about her grand babies she would always talk about.  I think about broken but welcoming smile.  I remember when she told me to keep the bike and don't worry about paying her anything.  Miss Sharon was a nice women, but one split decision and she is now facing 10 years in prison.  I pray for Miss Sharon.  She didn't hurt anyone with the B.B. gun she robbed the store with and they still can't find about 10K of the reported 20K that was taken from the store-but now she sits behind bars.  I wonder what is was that finally made her snap.  Was it her cheating husband?  Had she finally gotten fed up after 20 years? Was it losing her sole source of income? Or was it her being fired, not know where she was going to come up with the money to provide for herself?
