Good midday morning. I'm having my coffee and reading the good news that Morgan Geyser has been found. She made it all the way to South of Chicago from Madison after she cut off her monitoring bracelet and had help from a friend.
Morgan Geyser stabbed a classmate nineteen times in 2014, when they were twelve years old. Geyser and another classmate became enthralled by the fictional character, Slenderman. They believed if they made a sacrifice Slenderman would welcome him into his life. Fortunately, the victim survived and the two girls both plead insanity. They were sent to psychiatric facilities to live until they were old women. Naturally, in the American court system it doesn't work that way. Alissa Weier was released to her father's care in 2021. Geyser was just recently released to a group home where she was expected to stay until 2058. I guess mental illness ends at a certain age. I'm being sarcastic to cover my being pissed. It took twelve hours from the time Geyser removed her bracelet for anyone to give a shit. In that time she could have gone back to the original victim and tried again to kill her. What she did do, along with her friend, was try to sleep on a sidewalk after becoming tired and Geyser claiming an injury to her foot. So, she had no plan, no money, just the idea to run. If she hadn't been so sloppy in her attempt to run, I'm sure she'd still be out there.
I'm sure the defense for everyone is they're understaffed, overworked and probably get paid minimum wage. I have no doubt they are which leads to those hired to make a minimum effort. I'm sure there are people on out there who still give 100% because it's not about the job. It's about integrity and being able to go home after a days work and knowing you did the best you could. People are constantly bitching how AI will take over the job sector. Maybe that's a good thing when you put as little as possible into your work, when you skate along hoping others will pick up the slack.
I just read a post in an advice column where a man was complaining his wife is becoming a burden and he didn't sign up to be her caregiver. He actually did when he said his vows years ago. So my point? Don't start something you can't commit to, even if that means washing dishes or changing diapers in a assisted living home. You hurt a lot of people, but mostly you destroy whatever you could have been.
Anyway, I'm committed to doing laundry after my coffee break. Hopefully Geyser will be going back to where she belongs.
