"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.

I’m not one for profanity, but…
*applauds*
Hold up hand, wiggle fingers a la Vir…
This is going to be very good
Now I wanna rewrite the Hopalong Cassidy theme song to match Sarah’s term…
As funny as this is, shouldn’t the hatchet job be done by executive staff or someone from the HR department? Of course, this assumes that the con has that sort of structure. I just think that Terrence will ignore the dismissal since it didn’t come from the ‘right’ person/people.
I doubt they have that much structure, although “staff management” may be part of the duties of whoever is volunteer coordinator this year or a similar role.
That said, yeah, this needs to be coming from someone else. A, it’s just polite to not be a dick when you fire someone. B, Terrance would probably be right to claim that Sarah doesn’t have the authority, which means he’ll end up talking to Veronica anyway, so just cut out the middle man.
There’s also the “I sent someone else to fire you, because that way I won’t $@#^*ing strangle you right here – then set the body on fire and dance around singing joyfully.” method of employee termination. Perhaps it’s more a case of that?
Not the most professional manner to fire someone, but it does hold a fair bit of personal satisfaction. And yeah, likely be a needed level of verification.
I suspect her choice of words are going to come back to bite her… Sarah doesn’t seem known for intelligent decision-making, especially when it comes to social interaction.
