A couple of weeks ago, an incident happened here at work where a coworker had a reaction to some medication he was taking or something, and long story short he basically had a panic attack. It was a tense few minutes here in our workplace, but we got it handled, and there were some lessons learned. After the coworker was helped out to his car by our security staff, there were some comments being made about the coworker and the situation. I don't remember exactly what the comments were, but they did upset me enough to send out a message to our immediate team, and the team that this coworker was part of. I added some links to the NAMI site, and also one to my Crowdrise page. I got some comments at work after I sent my email that some people realized they had said some off color things, and that they were surprised it came from me. My message started off with 'It could have been me', and explained how I was dealing with my own mental illness.
Anyway, after sending the links, I did get some hits on fundraising which is awesome. I'm currently up to 25% of my goal, with three months to go. So thank you for that, it is 25% more than I thought I'd get at all.
Today is of course the equinox, which means we are in spring. One more season until I start my drive. I've been messing around with Google maps street view, to get somewhat familiarized with the route, and just for something to do. I'm weird like that. I also have set up a Facebook event to meet up on the Santa Monica Pier before we leave, a sort of launch party so to speak. IF you want added in on that, just let me know in some comments. I'll also start updating this more often. Thanks again, and keep being awesome!
