The staff is excited, people are rushed to finish moving out, and I feel like I'm strangely positioned between the two.
I'm not quite a main staff member and I'm not quite a regular resident. I'm the only Desk Attendant who volunteered to stay a little bit longer. I feel a little bit weird now. I know that when I'm done, I'll be the only one in my wing. Sure, there will be other people close by, but it still is kinda creepy at this point.
Ah well...I have music, tv, and the internet to comfort me.
Interesting things in the news:
Yes kids, for those of you who have been worried about his resting place, Ted Williams WILL remain cryogenically frozen. Originally this was disputed because his in 1996 he said he wanted to be cremated. A handwritten statement made in 2000 said he'd gone in the opposite direction and decided to be frozen in stead.
From the frying pan into the freezer. Now there's a flip-flop!
The updated will was contested by a daughter who hadn't been included in the certification of the newest will. She said it's not what her father truly intended.
Financial strains, however, put an end to the suit, since her funds were becoming pinched.
Today she released the statement: "I'm at peace with the decision and I know that my father will understand."
It's rough to give up the fight when one is lacking the funds to continue on. Of course, it's rough to give up the fight in just about any case.
Ted Williams, the "Splendid Splinter," will now join the growing ranks of the people who are called the "temporarily dead," at least by those who are still living.
What they call themselves is beyond my range of knowledge.
I personally hope that I, and any one the 3 people reading this thing out there, don't find out anytime soon.
