dry eyes

I appeared to be the only one to not have tears for those we lost today. Work is revamping everything and they are cutting people everywhere. All of our directors were fired today and some had been with the company for many, many years. Most staff had the fear emotion on high level today as well as tears for those they lost. I had none of that. Heartless monster or realist? It is always sad when people are out of work and I can sympathize with the situation, but I am more greatful that I was not cut. I thought to myself....rather than spending time being sad, and consoling one another - get your ass back to work, so you are not next. I also didn't really know the people canned, so I didn't really care. The bottom line is, it didn't really affect me, and when it does, then I'll deal.


I thought I would grab a little something from my blog list posted recently.
HAVING MY HEAD CUT OFF

When I was much younger, possibly grade 5 or 6, I spent a March Break in Toronto. I stayed with family and spent the week with cousins exploring Toronto. We spent one of the days going to Casa Loma. I thought it was wonderful! I loved the look of the building, the history behind it and even the bowling alley in the basement. I remember wearing headphones and probably a cassette player to take a self guided tour. After our tour we met with most of the other sight seeing crowd in a main floor room to watch a magician. This magician was putting on a show and required a volunteer to have their head cut off. I wanted that position SO BAD! With all the magic behind magic, I was picked. I went in front of the crowd, put my head in the guillotine and waited for the blood. The magician put down a section of the comics from the paper under my head, so I could laugh my head off. The blade was dropped and I survived!
This was the first of 2 magic shows I have been in. The second one had me floating and throwing fire. That one also allowed me to spend some time the night before the show with the magician and scored a lot of the secrets! Sweet Deal!
