There Must Be Something In The Water……
This has been a weird week in Hawaii.
Wednesday was our opening day and it was quite crazy. I’ll write more on that in a different post. I am just too tired to write about everything right now.
But, there have been 2 really brutal murders here over the last 2 days.
First, on Wednesday, some guy who just could not give up his ex girlfriend, tracked her down, rammed her car and beat her to death with a shotgun - in broad daylight, on a public street. Some people tried to stop him, but the crazy had a shotgun that he pointed at someone and also hit that person with the gun as well. It was apparently extremely brutal.
What the hell is going on around here? When I first heard about the baby being killed, I thought it was a hit and run, but the person I was talking to explained it further to me, and I just can’t believe it. I mean, I heard about that guy who threw his 4 kids off of a bridge in Alabama, but I never thought something like that would happen here. Of course, no one ever thinks that unspeakable acts could occur where they live.
I really should be in bed right now. Our staff party is tomorrow and it looks like we are actually going to pull it off. The food has been ordered, drinks purchased and I made a run to Costco after work and bought $140 worth of cakes and goodies. I think there is going to be waaaay too much food, but oh well. We can always invite people to come in afterwards or donate it to the law enforcement guys near by.
I guess my boss was a little upset that I didn’t order additional salads from this one restaurant, but I just didn’t feel it was necessary given the volume of food we were going to be getting - and because I didn’t know how close to our budget we were going to get after we ordered the food and got beverages and paper goods. Grrr. I just know that I am not going to be able to get much work done tomorrow.
