Oh, Vonnie. What a horrible horrible situation. Please stay safe! I endorse the hiding under a desk behind a filing cabinet plan.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Vonnie, how awful and scary!
Duh, cash. But her bank is at least half an hour from me. And we're trying to figure out a solution together.

OK, the latest from the grapevine is that there was only one shooter and he's dead, as well as one of the victims, but nothing official has been announced yet.
We have our regular weekly lecture series on the other side of the building at 4 pm and our education director says it's still on. Granted, we have an invited big-name lecturer from outside and it would suck to cancel, but we have to walk through the main hospital to get to the lecture room! Man, I don't even know. *hands*

Give a check/cash to a friend of hers, who can more easily deposit it at her bank?

Vonnie, is big-name lecturer still going to show?! I think if there were a big shooting drama, I might say "I'll come back some other time"!

Our wings are not tired.
I used Taskrabbit.com for the first time and had a great experience! I really wish they were in New Orleans because I could see smonster really making good $ by being a Taskrabbit. I thought of msbelle too. Taskrabbit needs to be EVERYWHERE now!!!
I am overloaded with house and work stuff and it was so great to post "come pick up leftover paint and fluorescent tubes and take to appropriate disposal agency" and have someone DO IT immediately for a bit of cash. Now I am sitting here thinking of more Taskrabbity things. Maybe Hec could sign up with the service - it seems an easy way to make cash doing jobs you pick up as you wish. I plan to use it a lot.

Vonnie, I am SO glad you're safe but that is a terrifying situation! I am so sorry for anyone hurt.

One of our staff is driving him down from VA. Hopefully he'll be able to enter the building. While the complex is in a lockdown, I think you can enter if you have a proper ID.
OK, I'm gonna start walking now. Hopefully to come back in one piece! (Seriously though, it sounds like things are now resolving, but everybody is so confused right now, I don't know what will happen.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What a tragic thing.
