Not to be outdone by a shooter at a UAB Hospital who killed an employee, and shot another person before taking himself out.

Looks like it was built using a newer method that makes it faster and easier/safer for workers. According to Vice, the company that provided the "structural oversight" on the build deleted a tweet about how proud they were of it from the other day :oops:

Many emotions yesterday at work.
Our school district is going through a reduction in force (RIF) and 16 teachers were cut after this year.
My job will be on the chopping block once they get to the admin cuts, so I started looking a few weeks ago and got a job offer yesterday.
I will be moving to Wesbanco for a job in IT in April.

I do not wish a RIF on anyone. Crazy to see teachers get blindsided who thought they would never be let go.
Seniority only played a small part, so it was bad for some.

After hockey, we stopped for our weekly curly fries from Arby's.

My 1 kid took 2 curvy fries, put them back to back and called it a "Hurley fry"

I was impressed.

It was perfect timing. They called me Thursday afternoon with the offer, we negotiated salary till Thursday evening.
I accepted Friday morning, gave my notice to the school Friday afternoon just as they were making cuts for teachers.

Was such a relief knowing my job was up in a couple months.

So there's a serial bomber killing people in their own homes with packages disguised as Amazon packages, and the media seems to be I guess too focused on Trump to notice.

This should be a huge story but nah, it's not for some reason.

No wonder my Amazon stock is plummeting!!

I do love their new enhancement of them taking a picture of the package that they delivered on my door step and my cameras always catch the fun action of the random hired delivery guy throwing it like a shot putt at my door.

I feel like the only thing i've heard everywhere from this story is how it's not a huge story yet and no one is talking about it lol

The possibility that Trump took donations made to his campaign, funneled them to his business without proper/legal reasons, then passed them on to his lawyer to cover the costs of the non-disclosure payment made to her.
