Not a crappy day, just a distracting one. I have too many things going on at once here, not to mention worry about what's going on at home (look for a signature update in my very near future). Anyone know of a market for an EIFS contractor? No? Then I'll move on to relevancy.
Let me elaborate now that I have some time. Police get info from informant. Everything is jotted down quickly. They go back to read what they've written and - oops - it's hard to read. They went to the wrong house because someone couldn't figure out if that was an "8" or a "4" or two numbers got transposed. They're human. It happens. If the informant's not available to check with, they have to make a judgement call. Unfortunately they chose wrong. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt or killed. Potentially, the whole problem stems from the fact that Officer Friendly got a "C" in 2nd grade writing class.
Ustwo got singled out because I've been reading a lot about doctors moving to electronic prescriptions because of their notoriously bad penmanship. It's both a work issue for me (for a variety of reasons) and a personal one since it almost killed a family member. The pharmacist didn't check the dosage with the doctor before filling a prescription for a drug. The pharmacist couldn't read the handwriting on the note.
And there have been two deaths in dentists chairs in the Chicago neighborhood he practices in recently, both African American females. One was about 6, and the other was a very popular high school (I think) principal this week. Just an ironic thing that happened, and whenever I see stories about Chicago dentists, Ustwo's always the first guy I think of.
