Responsibilty

I meant to text Terry in the morning, but I had too much else to do. He texted me instead, concerned that he was trying harder in our friendship than I was. It would have been very easy to provide justification, but instead I just apologized. I was almost late for the work zoom meeting, just trying to get so much done. Dave is having a problem with rats, and humane options weren't working. I was understanding, but asked that they at least not use glue traps, because they are fucking horrific.

I heard some arguing outside, but 1) I always, somewhat selfishly, am just grateful not to be the problem neighbor, and 2) I couldn't get away from work to investigate. I ended getting everything done by the end of the day except a few claims that still needed tagging.

Texted Terry after work, and he called me instead. Apparently his friend Chuck had a tweeker over this morning, and after leaving Chuck's, the guy pulled a knife and started threatening various neighbors. And this wasn't the first time by a long shot. Apparently they're going to evict him.
