I like to take a lighthearted and humorous look at any stressful events of myself. For example, I'm looking at getting a bad annual review from my job but after knowledging that the bosses here gives everyone bad reviews, I accept that they are retaaaarrrrded. Normal people do not wait a year to pass before addressing an issue. And once a review is passed they do not force you to sign the review as acceptance and expect no return feedback.    

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

Two of my friends are working in the Empire State Building area (5th Avenue and 34th Street). They are pretty much staying inside until police activity has died down. The last update I received (8/24 at 10:20am) 9 were shot and 4 dead. The shooter was shot and killed by NYPD.

NEW YORK (AP) — "A disgruntled laid-off women's accessories designer shot a former co-worker to death in front of the Empire State Building, causing a chaotic showdown with police in front of one of the world's best-known landmarks. Police killed the suspect and at least nine others were wounded, some possibly by police gunfire, city officials said.

Some of the wounded were grazed by bullets and others hit directly, but all were expected to survive, officials said.
The gunshots rang out on the Fifth Avenue side of the building at around 9 a.m., a time of day when the sidewalks around the building are packed with pedestrians and merchants were opening their shops."

This is so odd, one of my friends works in this area, is a graphic designer and works at a women's accessories design company. But, no, he is not the shooter. Just far too coincidental.
