"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.

Run. Run now. Run fast.
Resign before you become an enabler.
Had something similar happen at a meeting. 4 hours of heated debate over an expense on some stage lights. And a newbie staffer finally pipes up: “How many of those lights do you need? I’ve got 4 of them in the truck right now that I was about to take to Goodwill.”
I’m not sure what’s wrong with them but I really hope it’s not contagious.
When I was at Marvel Comics, in the mailroom, I learned how to set type. I was then a typesetter for about 20 years before losing my last job to a takeover and liquidation. I remember at one point, the typesetter AT Marvel (the guy who taught me) talked about the time they were discussing updating from the Compuwriter IV (OLD school typesetting) to a Compugraphic CTRonic (100% digital). Someone suggested they just get RID of the typesetting department and replace it with a terminal where they would lease computer time on a mainframe. They debated this for two hours before someone crunched the numbers and discovered the the mainframe leasing would cost MORE than just updating the equipment and getting supplies!
