WHAT A DAY?!

Is it Monday or what?! So many fucked up things going on today. In order:

#1 - and taking the cake by a long shot (does a long shot refer to shooting? if so, excuse that pun).

First of all, what goes through someone's head to make him gun down 32 people them commit suicide? It just blows my (argh, sorry didn't intend that pun) but seriously? How disturbed or angry or distraught or something can you be to do something so cold - and maybe calculated? Or even worse just random...did that guy wake up this morning and just decide to kill random people?

It's very upsetting to think that among categories of crime, school shootings exists, even more so because I work in a school and I live in Colorado which until today held the record for most deadliest school shooting in US history.

WHAT?! and isn't there something just disgusting about keeping track of this?, but I can't tell you how many times I heard or read those words today - that Colorado held the record no more.

I've always associated schools with fun, learning, creativity, but now more and more with death and hate crimes. We've had our share of crazy kid stunts - some just mischief, others pretty dangerous and scary. Aren't schools supposed to be safe? It's really troubling, but that's a rant for another day.

#2 Some kid shit all over the girls' bathroom...wiped it all over the toilet, on the floor, on the walls then peed all over another stall. wtf?! We have little kids in the building, but I am sure that they are all potty trained.

How exactly does a kid have a shit fest all over the most visible bathroom in the school? People are constantly walking by it all day. No main door. 3 stalls in, basically, a small hallway, right next to the school social worker's office, the art room, the janitor's closet and a whole row of classrooms. I'm talking about someone farts and you hear it halfway down the hall and people are constantly walking by it.

I'm sure it took kid more than 5 minutes to convert the bathroom into his or her Mona Lisa. On that note, how can a kid be out of class for more than 5 minutes without the teacher noticing or was everyone's day as crazy as mine?!

Actually, compared to #1 and now that it's about 7 hours later, #2 is pretty amusing (except for the janitor who had to clean it up and the kid who did it when the principal finds out) and much less hideous.

Ok, over bad things - well, not really, but I'm just gonna be over dwelling on them. I just needed to remove them from my brain before going to sleep. Luckily, the only thing flying through the air at my Columbine (yes, I work at Columbine, but not THE Columbine) was poop...and basketballs in the gym and probably some food in the caf.
