[apocalypsos]

So, today there was an attempted murder at our workplace.

No, really.

So I go into work today and one of the guys in dispatch, Monty (the one who always calls me Gingerbread) isn't around. I'm getting ready to do the dispatch audits and somebody comes into the room and says, "Hey, who wants to see the video?" And I'm thinking, "The video of what?" So I trail along after everybody else into Bossman's office, and he shows us the video.

Apparently, early this morning when everybody was sorting packages at the end of the conveyor belt, Monty was tossing packages into one of the crates when his ex-girlfriend stalked through the open back door, walked right up to him, and stabbed him in the chest, then walked right back out again in all the confusion. Luckily, Monty's okay -- well, as okay as you can be with a stab wound in your chest that could have pierced your lung if it were only two inches to the left.

And you know, after I got done worrying about his condition (which is fine as of right now), all I could think about was how stupid his ex-girlfriend has to be. Seriously, she could have done it anywhere else where there wouldn't have been a dozen and a half security cameras, but she did, and now there's a fairly clear recording of her stabbing him.

O_O holy bugger. I'm glad he's okay.

Why have a screening of the video though? Dispel rumors?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, the ones that went in to watch the video just hadn't been there that morning and wanted to see what actually happened. Hell, I didn't even know what I was watching until somebody pointed it out.

[gypsyjr.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. O_o

Didn't they take the video as evidence, or was this a different copy?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the cops got a copy. They also came back to watch the building later, I guess just in case she came back or something.

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

Oh my god-I hope he's going to be okay.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Me, too. Monty's a real sweetheart.

how stupid his ex-girlfriend has to be
I think she sounds more deranged than stupid!
wow, Did they tell you before you saw the tape?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Nope, nobody told me what she'd done to him until after I'd watched the video.

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

Jesus H! What if he had died?! But I guess they wouldn't be so callous with the tape if he had. Still, time to smite some coworkers.

[lamiael.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm depraved. I just went *aaawww* at your icon.

*fears for self*

[fyrdrakken]

Must third the icon lurve!

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

OH my. That sucks. I hope he's okay.

I agree with you that she was pretty stupid though. Did anyone have any idea about a motive?

You're back at the old station, right?

dude

[the-lizard-rat.livejournal.com]

I think my icon describes her perfectly.

Cue the Dragnet theme in 3... 2... 1... ACTION!

Do let us know what happens to this stupid bitch. :)

Lizard Rat out.

... WTF!

[eleniangel.livejournal.com]

Meep. Sometimes people just freak me the hell out.

[azurelunatic]

Woah.

Am I really sick to find your retelling of this very funny, aside from the obvious "OMG STABBED GUY" thing?

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. I hope he is ok.

Reason #543 on why you should remain single.

[loopychew.livejournal.com]

Yow. Hope things turn out all right.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Yipes! At least she was familiar with focused strikes instead of trying to take out the whole office with a big gun, like some whackos.

uhm.


as he is ok, is it wrong for me to wish for something like that happening here? i mean, the security guys are bored out of their minds anyway ...

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

He's going to get a great worker's comp case out of this. ^_^

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he sued. And he'd have a solid case, since we didn't have any security guards, the back door was left wide open, and she just walked right in. I mean, I get bugged if I walk in without my nametag, but she didn't? Yeah, right.

Reminds me of a story (I think in customers_suck) where a receptionit let a loony customer in with HER (the receptoinost[1]'s) security card. Nobody was hurt because the customer was a loony coward.

[1] I cannot spell.

[lattara.livejournal.com]

... your life is never boring, is it?

But seriously. I'm glad he's okay.

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

I'm glad Monty's okay.

I wonder if her lawyer's going to try and get her off on an insanity plea on the grounds that nobody in their right mind could be that stupid.

[cornfields.livejournal.com]

WTF is wrong with people? Did she think she was going to get away with it? Also, The Chrysler/Jeep plant off the turnpike in Toldeo, Ohio had a fatal shooting yesterday. Something in the air? Hitler's birthday? Eh??

[chilledglove.livejournal.com]

did she leave the knife in, or take it away with her?

[fyrdrakken]

Wow. Some people are too stupid to live. (Though, sadly, not stupid enough to trip and fall on her own knife.) Glad Monty had sufficient sense that she's an ex-girlfriend, and that he should be all right.

That lady is SO CRAZY
