I Wonder...
So, a co-worker of mine died of a drug overdose this week. The news came as a shock to me. I was (Ugh, this is going to make me sound like a douchebag) a little annoyed, because she was one of the nicest people at my job. I really wasn't very sad, which I find strange. (I guess I really don't have any emotions other than anger.) Basically, the entire conversation in which I learned of her death went like this: Mom (talking to someone else)-"...So one of the people at McDonald's died this week." Me-"Wait, who died?" "Tracy." "Tracy's dead? That sucks..."
So although I was a callous automaton and didn't really care that much that she died, it did make me wonder: Was there something I could have done to save her? We had a pretty good relationship (Nothing romantic, mind you), so I wonder if there was something I could (or should) have said. From what I heard, the overdose was self-induced. I knew she was taking medication, but I didn't think that she was going to do something like that...
Oh well, best no to dwell on it, lest I catch a case of the emotions.
