Update on Stuff

So, our GM had contacted the next closest Borders, Santa Cruz (we're good friends with them, one of their managers use to be one of ours) and they're going to send down cafe staff when the memorial service is that way the cafe staff can all go to it. They were the closest to him out of us all. I think that's great that Santa Cruz is willing to send staff to help us.

I want to go to the memorial service and am being the relay person for another cafe member who is on leave for the summer to be home. It's been a rocky day, but overall good. One time at work today I thought I saw David walk into the store and looked that way, but it was a customer. I, of course, got choked up for a second thinking I won't see him walk in again. It's funny to think of how he would always walk in the store the same way, with the same jacket and hat on, but there you have it. *shrugs* In fact, all of us at work have our own funny little nuances you get used to.

Thanks for all the condolences and the suggestions. I'm thinking of mentioning something about taking up a collection at work. We're doing a card, but some want to do more (or at least I want to). David is really the first person I've known personally that has died. I've been to funerals and memorial services before, but didn't really know them or anything.

On completely different and happier note, I want to go to Edinburgh, Scotland for the release of the 7th (and last) Harry Potter book! A bunch of my Harry Potter friends and I want to. Either that or New York. We want to go somewhere with a big party and loads of HP fans. Of course being in Edinburgh is where JK Rowling lives! So that is our #1 place we'd like to go. I'm saving up to go, whether I go or not. Let's hope for a Summer 2008 book release!
