Dazzling Meaning Weird


	May 2008 Tuesday, May 20, 2008 Hmmm, seems I had partially started an entry on May 5, but never actually went anywhere with it. Oh well... I had to call 911 for the first time on Saturday. My newest hire at work is pregnant. Well, we were standing near the register going over some things since the third associate came in. I was writing something down and all I hear is a fixture being hit. I look up to see my new hire Em laying on the ground with her head on top of the bottom metal piece of a rolling rack that was right there. The other associate was closer to her so she was right there next to her trying to make sure she was alright. Em had this blank stare for about 15 seconds and then came to. We were all freaking out. I get emotional and crazy about little things, so of course I was the one who was making phone calls to 911 and her mom. I was pretty well able to keep from crying during those calls. It wasn't until I called my district manager that I started crying. It was really scary. Em ended up having to get 8 staples in the back of her head from where it landed on the fixture, but luckily that was the only thing that happened. One of the things I have always thought about is, what if something happens to someone while they are by themselves at work. We have a lot of one-person coverage throughout the week, and sometimes we don't have any customers in the store for like an hour or so whenever it's a really slow day. If something happened to someone, it's hard to say how long it would be before someone found them. To me, that's quite scary. I always think about things that could happen though. I'd say it's not very likely, but it could happen. I usually only think about it whenever I'm changing light bulbs before the store opens. I'm not doing anything crazy up on a ladder though. I had a ladder fear when I first started working at New York & Company. Being at the top of a tall ladder is scary for someone who has an odd fear of heights. Odd meaning I only have the fear of heights if I'm not secured in something. The last time I was at a water park, I had to stay away from the railing on the steps up to the slide. I really have a fear of going over or through railing. I can't go on ferris wheels even if it's a compartment because they are rocking and slow moving and up high. Then on the other hand, I love any other type of high up ride and would like to sky dive. I'm weird. Anyway, I ended up having to move a little past my ladder fear since I was the one who was usually changing lights. I'm looking forward to having the weekend off with Sean. It's been a while since we have had one off together. We're going to see Indiana Jones sometime this weekend. We haven't decided on if we want to go to the first showing Saturday or Sunday. I'm not even sure what we're planning on doing today when Sean gets home at about 1pm. I finally bought this shirt last night. I've been meaning to buy it for a while now and finally just did it. So long as I have it in time, I plan to wear it the day I fly back to Illinois. I'd like for as many people to see it as possible. Video games do not create violence. For example, I used to play certain levels on 007 Goldeneye just so I could hop in the tank and run people over; they scream and you can hear their bones crush. The flame thrower in Grand Theft Auto is also fun. You don't see me wanting to run people over or set them on fire. It's a game, it has no influence on life. Violent people are not violent because of video games or movies, they're just violent because they want to be. When I'm driving, I wish bad things upon people all the time because they do the most ignorant things and are going to kill someone some day because of it. That doesn't mean I am going to kill anyone though, nor will I ever unless it is self defense. Even then my goal would be to just immobilize the person and not kill them. Normal people don't actually want to kill anyone. Everyone needs to come to the realization that people understand the difference between real life and games/movies/thoughts, and those who don't are just messed up and not because of these things.
