"Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!"
-Joe Hill
My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

Eh 5 is the number I aimed for when I did my panel a few years ago. I was happy when I got 6 to attend at the start however I got more as the panel went on. But still 5 is a very go number to aim for.
I would sit atop a cactus for eight hours to get five new staff people.
What kind of cactus? Clothed or naked?
Aren’t cacti always naked?
Never could get that concept through heads at work. “We need another guy for nights.” ‘Well the HR manager interviewed someone this afternoon.’ “So? For every 10 people interviewed, 5 will show up for training, 2 for the first night, and 1 will show up a second night. No promises on how long they’ll last after that.”
Lord, I remember these discussions in the early days.
Pretty f’in much.
