Nothing Else Matters

A trial ran a couple of weeks ago on an Infrared oven. The results were packed and sent to a company in the States for coating and tear tests (another interesting conversation with Shirley the shipping lady). The package contained no information on the packaging, and since the facility recieves tons of samples every week, I had to track it down. I was able talk to our sales rep in Canada who was supposed to give us the results we needed to continue with our trials. Andrew, informed me they would be ready by Friday and I as well as my boss will be contacted.

We got some shocking news this morning. Andrew was shot by police on Saturday night after a violent domestic dispute resulting in the death of two people and injuring two others. Andrew killed his eight year old son an hour before police arrived. He was taken to the hospital after the confrontation and pronounced dead.

I read this in the paper today. He was going through a messy divorce. I suppose when there’s nothing to live for, nothing matters. I don’t know what else to say or think. He sounded fine on the phone.
